A screening of the critically acclaimed drama film Queen At Sea, directed by Lance Hammer, at MAC Birmingham.
Queen At Sea, directed by Lance Hammer, is screening at MAC Birmingham starting Friday 16 October. It's a UK production that runs 2 hours and 15 minutes, so it's a proper sit-down afternoon or evening rather than a quick trip to the cinema.
The story follows Amanda, who walks in on her elderly parents — Leslie, who's living with dementia, and her husband Martin — in what looks like a consensual sexual encounter, and instinctively calls the police. It's the kind of setup that puts you right in the middle of the family dynamic, and the fallout from that one moment is where the film does its work. It's been described as a moral maze of nuanced, sophisticated filmmaking, and it won a Silver Bear at the Berlinale, so it's got some weight behind it.
