Andrew Haigh interviewed by Tim Robey | BFI London Film Festival 2023 Screen Talk

Writer-director Andrew Haigh, at the BFI London Film Festival with his new film, All of Us Strangers, talks about his career.

Andrew Haigh's first two films, Greek Pete and Weekend, juggled humour and drama as they explored sexuality, sensuality and intimacy. With his award-winning breakthrough 45 Years, the filmmaker displayed a depth of compassion as he told the story of a long and happy relationship gradually torn apart by a moment from the distant past.

Looking – both the series and subsequent feature – gave us an enthralling portrait of gay lives in San Francisco, while the recent The North Water, a startling adaptation of Ian McGuire’s visceral novel, presented a graphic portrait of life aboard a Victorian arctic whaler.

And in contrast to the sublime, understated Lean on Pete, which offered up a plaintive pastoral drama, All of Us Strangers embraces an emotional register that will leave no audience member unmoved.
