Film Information
From writer-director Harry Lighton, making his feature debut, comes a romantic, funny, thoroughly unconventional love story, following two men who express desire in ways rarely depicted on the big-screen. Comic without ever descending into judgment of its characters, Pillion is a beguiling inquiry into the social and sexual performances of masculinity, featuring fearless work from its stars.
Based on the novel Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones, Pillion stars Harry Melling as Colin, a timid traffic warden from the suburbs, and Alexander Skarsgård as Ray, the enigmatic, Adonis-like leader of a gay motorcycle gang. When hyper-dominant Ray takes on the inexperienced Colin as his submissive, the improbable duo become partners in a complex arrangement that forces both parties to test the boundaries of what may or may not be real love.
Reviews
"An unconventional love story that finds pathos amid the PVC, this triumphant directorial debut bares so much more than flesh. Bruising and brilliant." – Empire
