Days of the Bagnold Summer
The directional debut from Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners). This witty beautiful British comedy is complemented by a soundtrack from Belle & Sebastian and features entertaining supporting roles from Rob Brydon, Alice Lowe and Tamsin Greig. Sue works in a library. Daniel eats crisps and listens to Metallica. This was the summer Daniel was due to spend with his dad and his dad’s new wife in Florida. But when they cancel his trip at the last minute, Sue and Daniel suddenly face the prospect of six long weeks together. An epic war of wills ensues in the unassuming battleground of their suburban home as they each reckon with private tragedies – and pursue their personal passions. DAYS OF THE BAGNOLD SUMMER is a tender, funny coming-of-age story; an acutely observed portrait of growing pains, friendship and family life.
