Ron's rages are sincere and — according to his wife — healthily cathartic. But can these splenetic outbursts loosen the grip of capitalism at its most monstrous?
Benjamin (15)
Directed by Simon Amstell
SIMON AMSTELL wears his heart on his protagonist’s sleeve in Benjamin.
At a special Q&A screening at the Curzon Soho — where this film within a film was partly shot, a surreal experience — Amstell revealed how he wanted to figure out what was “wrong” with him in his 20s in the film and how it is inspired by former relationships.
It follows rising young film-maker Benjamin (Colin Morgan) as he is thrown into emotional and existential turmoil by a blossoming romance with young French musician and singer Noah (Phenix Brossard) and the upcoming premiere at the London Film Festival of his long-awaited follow-up feature entitled No Self.
