British label Anti-Worlds will release on Blu-ray Simon Bird's Days of the Bagnold Summer (2019), starring Tamsin Greig, Rob Brydon, Alice Lowe, Monica Dolan, and Grace Hogg-Robinson. The release will be available for purchase on April 25.
Official description: Sue (Dolan) works in a library. Daniel (Cave) eats crisps and listens to Metallica. This was the summer Daniel was due to spend with his dad and his dad's new wife in Florida. But when they cancel his trip at the last minute, Sue and Daniel suddenly face the prospect of six long weeks together. An epic war of wills ensues in the unassuming battleground of their suburban home as they each reckon with private tragedies – and pursue their personal passions.
