SILENT NIGHT Q&A | TIFF 2021
The team behind SILENT NIGHT in conversation with TIFF in advance of its premiere at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. Keira Knightley and Lily-Rose Depp star in Camille Griffin’s feature directorial debut, about a family’s eventful Christmas dinner in the country.
The 46th Toronto International Film Festival runs September 9 to 18, 2021. For more, visit http://tiff.net.
A cozy house in the English countryside. The tree has been lovingly decorated. A grand feast is being prepared. Over the sound system, Michael Bublé croons about holiday sweaters. Nell (Oscar nominee Keira Knightley), Simon (Matthew Goode), and their boy Art (Roman Griffin Davis, star of TIFF ’19 Grolsch People’s Choice Award winner Jojo Rabbit) are ready to welcome friends and family for what promises to be a perfect Christmas gathering. Perfect except for one thing: everyone is going to die.
A pitch-black comedy rooted in brilliantly conceived characters and wry observations about class and social order, writer-director Camille Griffin’s feature debut merges that most wonderful night of the year with the end of the world as we know it. A poisonous cloud is descending upon the United Kingdom. An extinction event is imminent. YouTube videos display images of people bleeding from the eyes and ears. The government has provided its citizenry — except the homeless — with “exit pills.” And yet, even in this hour of ultimate dread, happy announcements are made, disagreements erupt, people dance, and ordinary foibles ensue.
Echoing elements of Last Night and Peter’s Friends, SILENT NIGHT fuses festive frivolity with existential angst for high entertainment. Gleaning lovingly textured, frequently hilarious performances from its stellar ensemble cast — which also includes Annabelle Wallis, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and Lily-Rose Depp (also at the Festival in Wolf) — the film gives us reasons to toast the human spirit… even when the end is nigh.
Camille Griffin is based in the UK. Her shorts include Say Sorry (04), Feeder (05), and Vincent (13). Silent Night (21) is her feature debut.
