Weekend DVD
Andrew Haigh’s British breakthrough film, Weekend, has received wide critical acclaim and numerous awards since its world premiere last year at the SXSW Film Festival including the Emerging Visions Audience Award (SXSW) and Best Newcomer Tom Cullen and Best Achievement in Production (BIFA).
It has been nominated for 2 awards at the upcoming London Critics’ Circle Film Awards.
Weekend was released in cinemas in the UK in November 2011 to rave reviews and quickly became a box office hit.
Written and directed by Andrew Haigh (Greek Pete), the film stars Tom Cullen (Daddy's Girl) and Chris New (Peter Nichol's 'Lingua Franca') and is produced by Tristan Goligher (Late Bloomers).
On a Friday night after hanging out with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a nightclub, alone and on the pull.
Just before closing time he picks up Glen. Over the next 48 hours, Russell and Glen become inseparable, gradually forming a tight bond that neither of them could have predicted - one that may change their lives forever.
Andrew Haigh’s celebrated Weekend depicts an unconventional love story with a raw, edifying honesty, making Haigh a refreshing new voice in British cinema.
