We’ve just received word that Harry Macqueen’s second feature, Supernova, is set to receive its world premiere at this year’s San Sebastián Film Festival in September. Macqueen’s debut, Hinterland, gained huge acclaim when in was released back in early 2015.
Supernova stars Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci and Macqueen describes the film as follows: “Supernova is a film about how love overcomes even the hardest human experiences and what we are willing to sacrifice for the people we adore. It is a romantic and life affirming film, which at a time like this seems more important than ever.” The feature will play in comeptiton at the festival in September. As well as some more info on the film, we also have a new image below.
It is deep Autumn and Sam (Colin Firth) and Tusker (Stanley Tucci), partners of twenty years, are on holiday. They are travelling across England in their old campervan visiting friends, family and places from their past. Since Tusker was diagnosed with young-onset dementia two years ago their lives have had to change. Jobs have been given up and plans put on hold. Their time together is now the most important thing they have. As the trip progresses however, their individual ideas for their future begin to collide. Secrets are uncovered, private plans unravel and their love for each other is tested like never before. Ultimately, they must confront the question of what it means to love one another in the face of Tusker’s irreparable illness.
StudioCanal released then news of the film’s global premiere earlier today. I can’t wait to see it.
The San Sebastián Film Festival takes place from 18th-26th September.
