Most successful film - involving a young evacuee boy, a former love affair, and floating islands - had eluded us. Swale is originally a playwright - Gemma Arterton appeared in her 'Nell Gwynn' and is terrific in this, and co-star Gugu Mbatha-Raw had also appeared in a production of it, so it's a nicely reunified cast. Lucas Bond very good as the boy too. With Tom Courtenay, Penelope Wilton, Dixie Edgerikx, Sian Philipps. So far Swale's only feature.
Very nicely edited by Tania Reddin; photographed by Laurie Rose, scored by Volker Bertelmann.
