Screening of the period fantasy comedy-drama 'Wicker', about a fisherwoman who orders herself a husband made of wicker, starring Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård and Peter Dinklage.
Wicker is showing at Phoenix Picturehouse on Monday 26 October, with the main feature starting at 8:05pm. It's a period fantasy comedy-drama set in a seaside village, and it carries a 15 certificate.
The story follows an unmarried fisherwoman who's grown tired of her stuffy, narrow-minded neighbours. Her solution is to order herself a husband made of wicker, and to the shock of the villagers, the arrangement leads to an unexpected love. It's a period piece that leans into the fantasy and the comedy, and the 15 certificate gives you a fair idea of the tone.
On screen, it stars Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård and Peter Dinklage, with Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson directing. That's a heavy-hitting cast for a story about a wicker man, and seeing them together in a seaside village is half the draw.
