Hunky Dory (2011 Marc Evans)

It certainly sounds like the music is all played by the non-professional cast - the arrangements (e.g. Life on Mars accompanied by glass bottles and recorders) are delightful. Funny also to see many of the cast of Stella involved, as well as an emerging Kimberley Nixon (though by no means her debut). Also Robert Pugh, Anuerin Barnard, Danielle Branch, Darren Evans. Despite 'where are they now' conclusion it isn't a true story, making the ending rather suspect. Writer Laurence Coriat was the self-featured French exchange teacher who came to England in 1976.

It kind of made me want to see their whole production of 'The Tempest'.

Shot by Far From the Madding Crowd's Charlotte Bruus Christensen.
