Screening of the fantasy romance 'Wicker', about a fisherwoman who commissions a wicker husband, starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård.
Wicker is coming to The Odyssey Cinema for a run of eight dates starting Friday 20 November. It's a fantasy romance set on the edge of a sleepy seaside village, and the premise is as odd as the title suggests: a fisherwoman, ridiculed by her neighbours, commissions a husband made entirely of wicker from a local Basket Weaver, who then comes to life. As gossip and jealousy spread, her romance threatens to turn the community upside down. It's billed as a quirky tale of outsiders and the courage to challenge society's expectations.
The cast is a proper ensemble. Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård take the lead roles, and they're joined by Peter Dinklage, Elizabeth Debicki, Richard E. Grant and Ella Bruccoleri. It's directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, and it's a co-production between the UK, USA, Australia and Hungary. The film runs 105 minutes and is rated 15.
Because it's a run rather than a single screening, you've got plenty of options. The dates are Friday 20 November, Saturday 21 November, Tuesday 24 November, Wednesday 25 November, Thursday 26 November, Saturday 28 November, Wednesday 2 December and Thursday 3 December. If you're planning to go, it's worth checking the full list so you can pick the one that fits your week best.
