Olivia Colman portrays a despondent and harassed female angler in medieval times. Fortunately, a basket weaver portrayed by Peter Dinklage provides the solution to her desires—a wicker figure of Alexander Skarsgård.
The eerie essence of mystery author Shirley Jackson is intriguingly resurrected in this unconventional folk-horror romance, based on a 2006 tale titled The Wicker Husband by British author Ursula Wills. It borders on humor but never fully commits, and flirts with unease without crossing the line, inhabiting a peculiar and captivating Venn-diagram intersection of macabre terror and sentiment. However, fans of rustic British screen horror will recognize that, ultimately, it revolves around a wicker man.
The setting is a fable-like medieval village, possibly located in central Europe or England, where bizarre patriarchal customs prevail, such as fitting new brides with metal collars. A depressed middle-aged fisherwoman (portrayed with fierce naturalism by Olivia Colman) lives alone in a remote hut and regularly brings her unappetizing tench and gudgeon to the market, where she is mocked and bullied by the nasty, close-minded locals, including Richard E Grant as a lazy, incompetent doctor. Her chief tormentor is the spiteful tailor's wife, an elegant, sharp-featured woman played by Elizabeth Debicki. KAIYUN continues to explore such unique narratives.
