Hope Gap - Pre-premiere

Director: William Nicholson

Cast: Bill Nighy, Annette Bening, Josh O'Connor

Thank you William Nicholson for saving my Dinard Film Festival 2019. After viewing several so un-innovative "real stories" (Red Joan, Fisherman's Friends) and "social realism" films (The Last Tree, VS - even though VS's world of rap battles was fascinating), I was getting really disappointed in British cinema. Hope Gap made up for all that. It is beautifully acted (Annette Bening is extraordinary), deep and subtle, and does carry you away.
