Screenings of the 15-rated fantasy romance 'Wicker', about a wicker man who comes to life and falls in love with a fisherwoman in a medieval village.
Wicker opens at Studio 74, Exeter Phoenix on Friday 30 October, with screenings running daily through to Thursday 5 November. It's a run of two sessions a day, so there are plenty of slots to fit in if you're not around on the opening night.
Directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, the film is set in a rigid, conservative medieval village. It follows an ostracised, smelly seaside fisherwoman who sarcastically asks the master basketmaker to craft a companion for her. When the basketmaker turns up with the woven creation, it unexpectedly comes to life as a soulful, extraordinarily devoted and remarkably capable husband. The unlikely couple's pure romance and the wicker man's unique prowess spark jealousy, outrage and chaos among the closed-minded townspeople, threatening the very fabric of village life. It runs for 105 minutes.
On screen you've got Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård and Peter Dinklage. It's rated 15 for strong sex, language, sex references and injury detail, so it's not one for the kids. If you're heading in with a group, keep that in mind before you book.
