Grill'd + The Ballad of Wallis Island at Leederville

Details

Please join me this Saturday for the eccentric British comedy The Ballad of Wallis Island, from the director of Cuban Fury. Tickets for the 6:50pm session are available here or at the box office. We'll meet down the road at Grill'd Leederville at 5:45pm for a chat and then head over to the cinema at 6:30pm.

The Ballad of Wallis Island follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musical duo, McGwyer Mortimer (Tom Basden & Carey Mulligan) back together. His fantasy turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island. Soon old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.

Trailer.

"This is a fish-out-of-water, odd couple, art and romance dramedy that reminds me of terrific television series such as Hamish Macbeth (1995-97) and Northern Exposure (1990-95). It is charming throughout, humorous and moving." -- Stephen Romei, The Australian.

"It’s clear that [writers & stars] Basden, Key and director Griffiths have worked together for years, their rapport coming across the screen with an affable ease." -- Alfred Castaneda, Shade Studios.

Anyone and everyone are welcome - so don't be shy if you haven't met any of us before. We all came to Meetup to meet new people! And if you've got any questions please leave a comment or feel free to shoot me a message. Please also remember to keep your RSVP up to date.
