BENJAMIN (2018)
SIMON AMSTELL
Plot
Benjamin, a rising star filmmaker, is on the brink of premiering his difficult second film No Self . He has been too long in the edit. On the eve of the premiere at the London Film Festival, he is introduced to a mesmeric French singer called Noah. As they journey through a contemporary London of vegan restaurants, comedy clubs and avant-garde dance, they slowly manoeuvre themselves and each other towards love. Benjamin is a drama-comedy about feeling isolated and struggling for connection. 'Hilariously bittersweet. A miraculously heartfelt love story, sweet and poignant' --The Guardian / 'Funny, bittersweet and affecting' --Empire / 'Tenderly funny, a little romantic gem' --Little White Lies
