Pillion

Love stories come in all shapes and sizes. Harry Lighton sets his provocative, witty debut film in the world of BDSM. Harry Melling stars as introverted traffic warden – and occasional barbershop quartet singer – Colin, who lives with his parents in suburban London. When he is picked up in the local pub by Adonis-like biker Ray (an enigmatic Alexander Skarsgård), he thinks all his dreams have come true. But Ray needs to be dominant sexually, so if their new relationship is to survive Colin must submit to his every whim. A fascinating exploration of the gay biker subculture and fetish scene that manages to feel transgressive but also touching, a coming-of-age tale in chains.
Friday, 10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
