BRIAN AND CHARLES (the 2025 Patron’s Pick)
About
A whimsical, warmhearted and thought provoking British comedy.Festival Patrons Jane Millichip and Marc Jobst have selected this odd-couple comedy and, in a personal introduction at the Vue, will share their enthusiasm for this BAFTA, BIFA and Sundance Festival nominated movie. Eccentric loner Brian (David Earl - a Ricky Gervais regular) lives a quiet life in a remote Welsh village, inventing useless junk. After a harsh winter he does what any sane person would do and builds a robot friend named Charles Petrescu (Chris Hayward). The two strike up an immediate bond. But when local meanies in the village kidnap Charles, Brian and his kindly neighbour Hazel fight for his freedom. “This is an odd-couple comedy about two lonely blokes, one of whom has a washing machine for a tummy” - Empire
