Pillion

‘A work of thrilling ambition realised by an assured directorial vision.’ SCREEN INTERNATIONAL Mascha Schilinski’s Cannes Jury Prize–winner braids past and present, telling the history of a tumultuous century through the lives of four girls who spend their respective youths on the same farm in northern Germany. The farmhouse bears witness to events both global and personal, with two World Wars and a divided nation providing historical backdrops to the girls’ more intimate experiences of growing up. This dramatic and historic film is an ambitious saga, a sensory and poetic epic shot with haunting detail. Winner Jury Prize 2025 Cannes Film Festival

‘A truly provocative anti-romance that’s funny, honest, strangely touching.’ THE FILM STAGE Timid, unassuming Colin (Harry Melling) is swept away from his dreary suburban existence when he meets the handsome, enigmatic biker (Alexander Skarsgård) who takes him on as his submissive. Navigating his new role, Colin learns about its pleasures and pains, and in the process understands his own boundaries. Pillion is not your typical queer love story. It’s messy, erotic and sometimes uncomfortable. But it’s also sexy, tender and surprisingly funny. Sensitively directed, with captivating performances, this is a dom com you’ll gladly submit to.
