Pond Life

Thursday 12th December 2019
100 minutes. Cert 15.

Director: Bill Buckhurst
UK 2018
Based on the play by Richard Cameron.  Set in a small Yorkshire village during 1994.  Young Trevor (Tom Varey) hears stories of a giant carp being spotted in decoy ponds just outside the village.  Trevor and his friends set off on a fishing trip, however the time spent together turns into a heartfelt rumination into what they believe their future could be.  These film makers are the natural successors to Ken Loach and Mike Leigh with their telling of the plight of the working class.
