English Language Cinema: The Ballad of Wallis Island

An eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island tries to make his fantasies come true by getting his favourite musicians to perform at his home.
The film sees reclusive lottery winner Charles (Key) pay his favourite musician, indie-folk has-been Herb McGwyer (Basden, who also wrote all the film’s legitimately beautiful songs), to play a gig on a tiny Welsh island. Unbeknown to McGwyer, Charles has also invited his ex-collaborator and old flame Nell Mortimer (Carey Mulligan) in an attempt to get the band back together.
„The Ballad of Wallis Island“ has quirky British humour matched with an appealing storyline. You’ll leave the theatre with a big smile on your face – Sam Steiner – IMDb
