ALPHABET LANE

Receiving its World Premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival to 2 sold out screenings, ALPHABET LANE follows Anna (Tilda Cobham-Hervey) and Jack (Nicholas Denton), a young couple who have recently moved to the country. With the reality of their new situation failing to live up to their expectations, as a joke they invent imaginary neighbours to cope with their growing loneliness. As letters begin to arrive from their new friends, what started out as a joke soon comes to take over their entire relationship.

 

Beautifully shot in Cooma, with a majestic score by Mark Bradshaw (Top of the Lake) with humming by Paddington himself Ben Whishaw, ALPHABET LANE is an offbeat exploration of isolation, creativity and the mysteries of love that is modest, worldly and sophisticated all at the same time and unlike any Australian film you have seen.
