Wicker

Wicker is coming to The Odyssey Cinema on London Road, with its first screening on Friday 20 November. It's a fantasy romance set on the edge of a sleepy seaside village, where a fisherwoman, ridiculed by her neighbours, commissions a husband made entirely of wicker from a local Basket Weaver. He then comes to life and unsettles the village's conventional ways. It's billed as wonderfully eccentric and quirky, a tale of outsiders and unconventional desires.

Olivia Colman stars as the fisherwoman, with Alexander Skarsgård as the wicker husband. They're joined by a substantial supporting cast: Peter Dinklage, Elizabeth Debicki, Richard E. Grant and Ella Bruccoleri. The film is directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, and it runs 105 minutes. It's rated 15, so keep that in mind if you're planning a family outing.

There are plenty of dates to choose from if the first one doesn't suit. Beyond Friday 20 November, it's showing on Saturday 21, Tuesday 24, Wednesday 25, Thursday 26, and Saturday 28 November, and then again on Wednesday 2 December and Thursday 3 December. That's eight screenings over a few weeks, so you've got a good run to fit it in.

Tickets are £14 to £17, with VIP seats at £19, plus a £3.00 transaction fee. The Odyssey is at 166 London Road, St Albans, AL1 1PQ.
