Euronews Culture's Film of the Week: 'Wicker' – 50 Shades Of Hay?

Oh. I want you to make me a husband. Be at the chapel in a month. I'll marry you. What's that? This is my husband. I heard that he's strong as a tree and just as hard. He's a wicker. I don't know if I'd use the word bonkers so much as just totally original. When the script arrived I was so excited. I've never read anything like this. I've never played her, I've never seen him on screen. Um, and Al and Elle are wonderful directors who wrote the script. Brickswell just brought together a gorgeous team of people. I mean, at every moment, I was just looking around going, I'm having the most fun, this is great. And it's funny and it's moving and it's a comment on our society, but done in a very gentle way. You know, you've made quite an impression. The wives, they're all a flutter. I don't blame her, I climbed that. Cousin. I recommend if anyone was going on a diet, get yourself a wicker husband suit. Great. Yeah, you can't open your mouth. Yeah, I mean I could open- it was glued to my face to hold, uh, the suit on because we wanted it to move with my facial movements, um, but that made it a bit tricky to open my mouth, uh, I could eat, but it was a little tricky and got very sloppy, yeah, but they made me a very nice cute little bib for my beard, so that helped. He has his days, I have mine, and we have our nights. Is someone being murdered? Let's dig in. I'll be fixing the bed this afternoon. It broke again. You've got some sort of scheme going with the natural world, have you? Mother Nature provides, I merely augment.
