2020 Supernova (15) Sam (Colin Firth) and Tusker (Stanley Tucci), partners of twenty years, are on holiday. Jobs have been given up and plans put on hold as they are travelling across England in their old campervan visiting friends, family and places from their past.Their time together is now the most important thing they have two years after a serious diagnosis. “Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci dazzle as a couple facing their fears”.Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian. “Firth and Tucci's performances are remarkable in how delicately they navigate this maze of half-truths and suppressed emotions, all crammed inside their rusty campervan.” Clarissa Loughrey – The Independent Starring Colin Firth; Stanley Tucci Director: Harry MacQueen Running Time: 95 minutes Post show Q&A with Peter Macqueen Local Link: Supernova was filmed at several Lake District locations including Crummock Water. You can watch the film just to location spot. ‘Every time I go to the Lakes, I’m in awe of its variety and its vastness,’ said the film’s writer and director, Harry Macqueen. ‘It seems to be an almost constantly shifting landscape, so easily moulded by weather and light. No day feels the same. When I had decided that Sam and Tusker’s story was one that would unfold on the road, it seemed like the perfect place to take it.’ Sponsored by: Fermento
