WILD STRAWBERRIES: THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND

Director: James Griffiths

99 mins, UK, 2025, Digital


Originating as an award-winning short film, the multitalented Tim Key plays the widowed and grieving Charles, a Herb McGwyer (Tom Basden) superfan and millionaire, who invites the singer to play solo for him on the remote Wallis Island, along with McGwyer’s former singing partner (Carey Mulligan). This gently humorous film just keeps on giving, way beyond the slightseeming plot, to reveal layers of love, friendship and the healing power of music.

Wild Strawberries is our monthly film club for the over 55s. A free tea and coffee is included in the price of the ticket.
