Fantasy romance about a fisherwoman who commissions a wicker husband, with Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, screened at The Odyssey Cinema.
Wicker is coming to The Odyssey Cinema in St Albans, with eight showings running from Friday 20 November through to Thursday 3 December. It's a fantasy romance set in a sleepy seaside village, and the cast is a big one: Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård lead the way, with Peter Dinklage, Elizabeth Debicki, Richard E. Grant and Ella Bruccoleri around them.
The story starts with a fisherwoman who's had enough of being ridiculed by her neighbours. She commissions a husband made entirely of wicker from a local Basket Weaver, and then he comes to life. In a community where tradition reigns supreme, the couple's courtship is anything but welcomed; as gossip and jealousy spread, their romance threatens to turn the village upside down. It's billed as wonderfully eccentric, a quirky tale of outsiders, unconventional desires and the courage to challenge society's expectations.
Behind the scenes, it's directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson. The film runs 105 minutes and is rated 15.
