Rare Beasts, the feature written by, directed by, and starring Billie Piper, has got itself a new trailer and, more importantly, a releas date. Republic Film Distribution has announced that the film will release in the UK and Ireland on 7th May 2021, in cinemas and on select digital platforms. The film received its world premiere in Critics Week at the Venice Film Festival before going to play the London Film Festival and SXSW. Leo Bill, Kerry Fox, David Thewlis and Lily James are also amongst the cast of the film, which I’ve been wanting to check out for ages.
Rare Beasts is the dark, funny, failed love story of Mandy and Pete.
Mandy is a modern woman in a crisis. Raising a son, Larch (Toby Woolf) in the midst of a female revolution, mining the pain of her parents’ separation and professionally writing about a love that no longer exists, she falls upon a troubled man, Pete (Leo Bill), who is searching for a sense of worth, belonging and ‘restored’ male identity.
We have the brand new trailer for the movie below.
