The Drama
Romantic drama by Kristoffer Borgli (Sick Of Myself, Dream Scenario) about an engaged couple – played by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson – for whom everything goes wrong in the lead-up to their wedding.
British expat Charlie Thompson (Robert Pattinson) is a museum curator who meets literary editor Emma Harwood (Zendaya) in a café. After a whirlwind courtship they move in together and start planning their wedding. But one explosive confession during a drunken game of ‘What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?’ sends the seemingly perfect couple spiralling into doubt and chaos as they try to make it to ‘I do.’
A relationship comedy that dares to ask how much we really want to know about the people closest to us, The Drama sees director Kristoffer Borgli push the wedding movie into fresh new territory in an inventive, darkly funny, unexpectedly heartfelt look at love in the age of oversharing.
‘In your closest relationships, you should be able to share everything, from how you actually feel to who you actually are,’ says the Norwegian director. The Drama is about that idea getting stress-tested.
