After a rapturous reception earlier this year at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, PICTUREHOUSE ENTERTAINMENT are delighted to announce the UK release of JUDY & PUNCH, in cinemas nationwide 22 November 2019 following its European Premiere as the BFI London Film Festival's Dare Gala on 12 October 2019.
With her joyously irreverent live-action reinterpretation of the famous 16th-century puppet show, writer/director Mirrah Foulkes turns the traditional story of Punch and Judy on its head and brings to life a devilishly delightful tale, starring Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak, Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre) and Damon Herriman (Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, Mindhunter, Top of the Lake).
In the outlandish town of Seaside, located nowhere near the coast, puppeteers Judy and Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy's superior puppeteering, but Punch's driving ambition and penchant for a drink lead to an ill-fated turn of events that Judy must avenge.
