Screening of the romantic comedy fantasy 'Wicker', a fable about a fisherwoman who commissions a wicker husband, directed by Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer.
Wicker opens at Odeon Stoke on Tuesday 3 November, running through to the 5th. It's a comedic fable about sex, marriage and the absurdities of social convention, and it's described as an audacious one.
The story is set on the outskirts of a seaside village and centres on a Fisherwoman who's smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. 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, the unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos. It's a blend of romance, fantasy and comedy, and it runs for 105 minutes.
Behind the camera are directors Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer. The cast is a big one: Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Peter Dinklage, Elizabeth Debicki and Marli Siu. With a name like Colman leading the way, you can probably guess the kind of comedic timing that's on offer.
