The Isle
Director: Matthew Butler Hart
Country: UK
Running Time: 96′
London Premiere
Year: 2018
In this lyrical, beautiful, second feature from Matthew Butler-Hart, three sole survivors of a devastating ship wreck cling on to life as they row through the thick, early morning mist, lost and disorientated. As the fog begins to clear, they spot salvation in the shape of The Isle and hungrily row ashore, only to discover its four sole residents; an old harbourman, a farmer, his niece and a mad woman. The story of survival of Captain Oliver Gosling (Alex Hassell, The Miniaturist) and his crew story has only just started as they uncover the strange past of the once vibrant island. Also starring Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones) and Fisayo Akinade (The Girl With All The Gifts).
