Pillion
Details
Hi all,
I’m squeezing in a few more meetups before Christmas and for our next one I’m arranging a film about a love story with a difference for this Sunday, December 7th at 5.40pm for the screening of Pillion.
An unassuming young man has his head turned in spectacular fashion by a charismatic biker with an interest in extreme role-play in Harry Lighton’s erotically charged debut.
Colin (Harry Melling) still lives at home, and although out as a gay man, he is shy and awkward, finding his voice only when performing in his barbershop quartet. He is propositioned one night by Ray (Alexander Skarsgård); a swaggering, monosyllabic, leather clad, hyper-masculine biker.
Colin’s expectations of a romantic first date evaporate when he finds himself in a kinky all-fresco tryst the following day (Christmas). This is the beginning of Colin taking on the role of Ray’s live-in submissive, expected to meet all his domestic and sexual needs. Pillion is a disarmingly warm-hearted and accessible exploration of an aspect of queer life little seen onscreen.
Screening is taking place in cinema 2, plenty of seats left as of Wednesday PM but I would recommend booking in advance.
I’ll be in the foyer from 5.15pm with my purple baseball hat.
See you all there,
Martin
