SET THE THAMES ON FIRE

released OUT NOW! 2016 | 15 | dVd

In a near-future London, the Thames is eating into the decaying city as pianist Art and friend Sal wander its streets, dreaming of a life in sunny Egypt.

There’s not much more plot to spoil in director Ben Charles Edwards’s decadent, Gilliaminf­luenced, Withnail & I-riffing fairytale. While easy on the eye (the production design and cinematogr­aphy have a sleazy richness to them), there’s a fatal lack of story.

Extras Bloopers; five deleted scenes; trailer. Steve O’Brien
