A ballad and the right place

 

We saw 'The Ballad of Wallis Island', directed by James Griffiths...



... and had a lot of thoughts about it. 

About artists, humans, friendships, kindness, fandom...


"It's never too late... To change your tune."


Carey Mulligan is a delight as usually, what a talented person.

Tom Basden, who plays Herb, co-wrote the screenplay and created the lyrics & melodies for the fictional band’s back catalogue... Impressive! 

The music was created by composer and musician Adem Ilhan. 

But the film is mostly about finally becoming a decent person... It's never too late indeed.

Beautiful music, and sweet story.
