Film Premiere: Queen & Country
From Academy Award-nominated writer/director John Boorman (Excalibur, Deliverance) comes this long-awaited sequel to his acclaimed autobiographical hit Hope and Glory.
Callum Turner stars as Bill Rohan, a child of the Blitz who comes of age just in time for the Korean War.
Drafted into the British army while still absurdly young, Bill and his new buddies master the art of poking fun at petty tyrants in boot camp, hunger for weekend leave with local beauties, and yearn to discover life’s excitement.
Together with troublemaking buddy Percy (Caleb Landry Jones), he rebels against the everyday drudgery of military life by pranking their tightly-wound Sergeant Major (David Thewlis) and infuriating their stuffy Major (Richard E.
Grant), while at the same time pursuing romance with a mysterious beauty (Tasmin Egerton).
A poignant and powerful mix of laughter, longing and the launch of adulthood in time of war, Queen and Country is a deeply felt, bittersweet drama with a warm reverence for nostalgia.
