Days of the Bagnold Summer
2019
Synopsis
A teenager spends his summer listening to heavy metal music and trying to get along with his librarian mom.
Editorial
In his heartfelt feature debut as director, Simon Bird crafts acerbic comedy from the tedium of a gray British summer, pitting teenage angst against the gentle irritation of motherly concern. As a bittersweet Belle and Sebastian score swaddles heartache, loneliness is drawn in soothing pastel tones.
