Echo Chamber - LFF 23 - Day Seven
As we enter the back half of the 67th BFI London Film Festival (4th to 15th October 2023), we have two features for you on 'Day 7' of our @EchoChamberFP coverage!
The films are from the 'Journey' and 'Special Presentations' strands, both deal with relationships and different concepts of love.
'Haar' is written & directed by Ben Hecking. As Jef (Kate Kennedy), a 32 year old Unit Production Manager, runs errands and navigates the dying embers of an ill-advised affair (Jack Morris), news from home and a chance encounter (Fehinti Balogun) prompt her to reassess the relationships in her life.
'Foe’ is directed by Garth Davis, who co-wrote it with Iain Reid. The lives of a married couple, Hen (Saoirse Ronan) and Junior (Paul Mescal), are turned upside down when a stranger arrives at their farm and informs Junior he will be sent to a large space station, and Hen will be left in the company of a robot.
Today we have:
