Stafford Film Theatre: The Ballad of Wallis Island
THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND
James Griffiths / UK 2024 / 100 min / Cert 12A
Musician Herb (Tom Bassot) formerly half of a successful folk duo arrives on the remote Wallis Island to play a very lucrative show for super fan Charles (Tim Key), a reclusive lottery winner. Herb is surprised when his former musical and romantic partner Neil (Carrie Mulligan) arrives on the island to play the gig too. After an almost inevitable row, Herb attempts to leave the island but stays because he needs the money, the show must go on. The film mines a great deal of warmth and humour from its humble premise and has been described by Richard Curtis as one of the ten greatest films of all time.
