Comedy fable about a fisherwoman who commissions a wicker husband, sparking chaos in a conservative seaside town, directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson.
Wicker arrives at Odeon Stoke on Sunday 1 November, with four screenings throughout the day: 12:30, 15:10, 17:40 and 20:20. It's an Australian/UK/US comedy that the makers describe as an audacious fable about sex, marriage and the absurdities of social convention.
The story centres on a smelly, single fisherwoman living on the outskirts of a seaside village. Fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbours, she takes matters into her own hands and commissions herself a husband made of wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, that unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos. It's a comedy built on a pretty surreal premise, so it's the kind of thing that works best on a big screen rather than at home.
Behind the scenes, it's directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson. The cast is a big one, with Olivia Colman leading the way alongside Alexander Skarsgård, Elizabeth Debicki, Marli Siu, Nabhaan Rizwan, Richard E. Grant and Peter Dinklage. With that many recognisable names in one bill, there's a fair bit of star power to carry the story through.
