Alicia Vikander: 'August: Osage County' Screening After Marrakech Film Festival 2013

Alicia Vikander accepts her best actress award on stage during the 2013 Marrakech International Film Festival in Marrakech, Morocco earlier in the month.

The 25-year-old actress picked up the honor for her work in Hotell, where she plays Erika, a new mother who suffers from post-natal depression.

“Many women go through [postnatal depression] if they have a family, but it’s still a very taboo subject; I’ve never really seen it portrayed on screen,” Alicia shared with Refinery29. “I mean, I didn’t even really know how it would work just by reading the script. I would end up laughing just two, three pages straight after some extremely moving, horrific scene. I was quite amazed at how Lisa was able to bring it all to the screen.”

Alicia is also pictured inside the August: Osage County drinks & screening held at Soho Hotel on Saturday night (December 21) in London, England.
