Ben Wheatley : 2012
Tina has always lived a sheltered life with a possessive, meddling mother. For their first romantic holiday, Chris decides to show her England in his caravan. It's quite a change of scenery for Tina. But the dream quickly turns to ashes when litterbug tourists, noisy youths and pre-booked caravan sites destroy Chris's dream and all those who get in his way. At their first destination Chris has an argument with another sightseer about littering and later, on the way out of the car park, he runs him over, entirely by accident. Both Tina and Chris are shaken but they also recognise a kind of cosmic justice at work. A shared psychosis then develops, and other holidaymakers who cross their paths begin to meet a series of increasingly sticky ends. Ben Wheatley's pitch-black, very British comedy premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs 2012 at Cannes.
