Jan Komasa’s first English language film is a dark genre blending fable which shines a light on the excesses of trash culture. Anson Boon (1917) delivers a mercurial performance as transgressive bad boy Tommy who wakes up far away from home, the subject of a ‘rehabilitation project’. Quirky couple Graham and Riseborough (and Kit Rakusen, their chilling son “Sunshine”) have an absurdist, or perhaps psychotic, redemption plan. Co-produced by long-time collaborators Jeremy Thomas and Jerzy Skolimowski and filmed in Warsaw and Yorkshire this is sharp social commentary full of unexpected tonal shifts. Trigger warnings - confinement and brutality
Followed by a Q&A with Jan Komasa (TBC)
