Aimee Lou Wood has delighted fans by sharing behind-the-scenes pictures from her upcoming film The Idiots on Instagram.
Taking to the photo-sharing site on Sunday, the Sex Education star, 31, was transformed by period clothing as she stepped into the shoes of the writer Fydor Dostoyevsky’s second wife Anna.
Tagging the film’s director Małgorzata Szumowska and her co-star Michał Englert, she captioned the pictures: ‘Move over Hollywood, it’s POLlywood time.’
Her caption was a reference to her location as shooting begins in Poland for the big screen adaptation of The Gambler Wife by Andrew D. Kaufman.
Aimee playfully made a rude gesture in one snap of herself in an eighteenth-century dress and hat. In another, she could be seen enjoying a coffee in the outfit, with her hair styled in a long side plait.

News of the film’s production was first announced in February 2022, however, principal photography and first-look images were not released until this month.
A release date has not yet been scheduled.
Opening up about why she became an actress, Aimee, who has spoken candidly about her battle with bulimia, told The Guardian: ‘It’s funny, people like me get into acting because it helps them in some way.
‘It helps you express yourself, or gives you a shield from “bad things”.
Following Aimee’s successful stint in Netflix’s Sex Education as Aimee Gibbs, she went on to find even more fame in the HBO drama The White Lotus, where she played Chelsea.
The filming snaps came just days after Aimee shared a fun picture from Glastonbury after spending the weekend at the festival with her new boyfriend Adam Long.
The actress took to her Instagram Story to document some of her fun-filled Glastonbury weekend which included a picture with a pal.
She looked stylish in a denim jacket layered over a red patterned dress as she enjoyed the festival held at Worthy Farm. During her time in Somerset, Amiee was spotted sharing a giggle with her new boyfriend.
Actor Adam is best known for his role as convict Lewis Whippey in Happy Valley and looked like he was enjoying the festival as he relaxed in the snap with Aimee.
The pair – who are starring together in the upcoming BBC series Film Club – were first spotted sharing a kiss last month.
