Offbeat and beguiling Brit comedy Everyone’s Going To Die, the feature debut of directing collective Jones, is hard to describe and so probably needs to be watched. And, fortunately, we have a clip...
It’s the story of Ray (Rob Knighton), who arrives in Folkestone to do a dubious job, dressed like a “fancy dress gangster” from Reservoir Dogs, and forms an unlikely – but convincing – connection with young German ex-pat Melanie (Nora Tschirner).
“The film gets quite a lot of different descriptions from the different festivals it’s been in or every reviewer,” says Michael Woodward, one half of Jones. “We had ‘existentialist crime rom-com',” chips in Max Barron, the other part of the puzzle. “It’s about a guy and a girl both having a bit of a difficult time and they meet up and they’re able to help each other out. It’s kind of a platonic romance.”
The directors – who are down-to-earth and unpretentious, despite what one might expect from interviewing a ‘collective’ – met in advertising and have made a debut that echoes of Breathless, Lost In Translation and Before Sunset, but feels like distinctly its own thing.
Check out the trailer below and the film when it opens this Friday.
