Dazzling Lo-Fi indie film 'Strawberry Mansion' is coming to the UK soon

"Well, why are they trying to kill me?" "Because of what you know." Bulldog Film in the UK has re-released the official trailer for the independent film Strawberry Mansion, from filmmakers Kentucker Audley and Albert Birney. This premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and was one of my favorite films of the festival that year. This one already opened in February in the US, but since no one saw it then and no one even mentioned it, I'm posting this trailer anyway because I want to again draw more attention to it. In a future where the government records dreams and taxes them, a dream listener finds himself caught up in the dreams of an aging eccentric… Starring Kentucker Audley and Penny Fuller, plus a cast of goofy characters including Grace Glowicki, Reed Birney and Linas Phillips. The movie is similar to The Science of Sleep (one of my favorite movies) - with weird designs galore, dreamy visuals, weird special effects, all with an anti-capitalist edge. It played me from all points of view and I fell for it. Watch it on VOD as soon as you can.

Here is the official UK trailer (+artwork) for Strawberry Mansion by Audley & Birney, on YouTube:

In a dystopian future where dreams can be taxed and invaded by advertisers, government agent James Preble visits the eccentric home of aging artist Arabella Isadora to audit her dreams, and falls in love as he explores it subconsciously, stored on an extensive library of VHS tapes. Strawberry Mansion is both co-written and co-directed by indie actor/filmmaker Kentucker Audley (director of the films Team Picture, Holy Land, Open Five, Open Five 2 previously) & Albert Birney ( director of the films The Beast Pageant and Tux and Fanny previously), who both directed the film Sylvio previously. Produced by Emma Hannaway, Matisse Rifai, Taylor Shung and Sarah Winshall. This originally premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year (one of my favorites). Music Box Films already released Strawberry Mansion in the US in February 2022 earlier this year - it's now available on digital. Bulldog Distribution will soon be releasing the film in select UK cinemas+ on VOD from 16th September 2022. Worth a watch.
