Molly Manning Walker Instagram – British holiday culture has provided generations of filmmakers with cinematic fodder, from Joanna Hogg’s Tuscan-tinged feature debut ‘Unrelated’ to ‘The Inbetweeners’’s musty mancation.
The Greek party town of Malia played host to the latter’s debauchery, and resurfaces once more in ‘How to Have Sex,’ @maamw’s chilling debut feature, which sees its protagonist Tara confronted by the penumbra of sexual violence. Awarded the prestigious Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes last May and out in American theaters since last Friday, the film cements Manning Walker as one of the U.K.’s most exciting young image-makers.
At the link in bio, Manning Walker shares the visual references, including a viral image by British photographer @pixel8foto, that helped her sketch the film’s sinister decadence.
