Brit writer/director Joanna Hogg, who gave us the critically acclaimed Archipelago and Exhibition, casts Tilda Swinton’s daughter Honor Swinton Byrne in this ’80s set drama about a posho Knightsbridge-dwelling film student, whose bohemian lifestyle is bankrolled by mummy (Tilda Swinton, obviously).
She intends to make a documentary about the struggling working classes in Sudnerland, but instead falls in with a parasitical junkie (Tom Burke). Pot-shots are taken at privilege in the film world along the way. Watch out for the cameo by Richard Ayoade as a memorably insufferable director.
