Olivia Colman stars as a fisherwoman in the comedic fable "Wicker," a film that debuted at Sundance in January. The story follows her commissioning a basketmaker, portrayed by Peter Dinklage, to fashion a husband. This wicker husband, played by Alexander Skarsgård, possesses a spectacular presence and soulful spirit that deeply impacts the fisherwoman.
His unique prowess ignites a wave of jealousy and fascination within the village, threatening the community's fabric. A villager notes, "I heard that he's strong as a tree and just as hard." The film's tagline, "a hard man is good to find," hints at the comedic and romantic entanglements.
"Wicker" also features Elizabeth Debicki. Black Bear acquired North American rights in February. The film is scheduled for a limited theatrical release on October 23, with a wider expansion planned for the following week.
