#44. Tyrannosaur – Paddy Considine
Sundance is a great place to start off a budding filmmaking career, just that in the case of Considine, he has been a household name in art-house cinema since appearing in Pawel Pawlikowski’s Last Resort. Erik Wilson (Submarine) lenses, and thesps Eddie Marsan and Peter Mullan star in what is an extension of Considine’s award-winning short film Dog Altogether.
This tells the story of a man (Mullan) plagued by violence and a rage that is driving him to self-destruction. As Joseph’s life spirals into turmoil a chance of redemption appears in the form of Hannah (Olivia Colman), a Christian charity shop worker. Their relationship develops to reveal that Hannah is hiding a secret of her own with devastating results on both of their lives. Look for Tyrannosaur to be included in either the Premieres or World Cinema Dramatic Competition category and for the film to make a stop at the Berlin Film Festival right after.
* Producer: Diarmid Scrimshaw (Dog Altogether)
