A love story unlike any this year, Alex Huston Fischer & Eleanor Wilson’s Wicker tells a fable in which a woman (Olivia Colman) commissions a wicker husband (Alexander Skarsgård) to be made by the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage). Here’s the synopsis: “An audacious comedic fable about sex, marriage, and the absurdities of social convention, WICKER tells the wholly original love story of an ostracized fisherwoman (Olivia Colman) who commissions a husband to be made by the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage). When her wicker husband (Alexander Skarsgård) proves more spectacular than she ever imagined, his soulful spirit and unique prowess awaken something inside her, setting off a wave of jealousy, fascination, and upheaval that threatens the very fabric of village life.” Their screenplay, based on Ursula Wills-Jones’s short story The Wicker Husband, is a skewering of patriarchal relationship dynamics and traditions. Along with the sharp cultural satire, Wicker has one show-stopping card up its sleeve: a wicker Alexander Skarsgård.”
