Fresh off its debut at Cannes where it won the Un Certain Regard award for Best Screenplay, Pillion is ready to take you for a ride.
Harry Lighton’s award-winning directorial debut is a darkly funny and deeply earnest examination of BDSM subculture. Harry Melling, best known for playing Harry Potter’s cruel cousin Dudley, brilliantly plays a Colin timid gay man who unexpectedly finds himself falling into the grip of Ray (Alexander Skarsgård), a biker with an unconventional approach to relationships. The film expertly balances a sincere exploration of sub-dom romance without taking itself too seriously, anchored by two excellent and deeply human performances.
