Down Terrace

The debut feature from Ben Wheatley maps out the domestic tensions of a Sussex crime family as they attempt to ferret out the informant in their midst.

Wistful folk music. People drinking tea. Observational comedy. Not the ingredients which spring to mind when describing the British gangster film, but it's precisely Down Terrace's willingness to play with genre expectations which has won it so many hearts and prizes. Nimbly skipping to his debut feature from viral ads and TV comedy (Modern Toss, Ideal), Ben Wheatley maps out the domestic tensions of a Sussex crime family as they attempt to ferret out the informant in their midst.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with Ben Wheatley.
