‘Pillion’ Review: Alexander Skarsgård Is Dom For The Holidays & Harry Melling Is Hopelessly Devoted In Steamy BDSM Romance — Cannes Film Festival
In his feature directorial debut 'Pillion', writer/director Harry Lighton sets a beautifully heartbreaking love story against a modern world of BDSM.
The opening scene sees Colin at a pub for a Christmas performance with his barbershop quartet (including Douglas Hodge as his dad Pete), where his mom Peggy (Lesley Sharp) has also set him up on date with a ‘Free Britney’ activist, a sweet attempt at finding her son someone to settle down with before she dies of cancer. Melling portrays parking attendant Colin with the thrilling curiosity and emotional depth of a young gay man exploring his sexuality for the first time, while attempting to define his own desires and identity, independent of his much more experienced dom. In an unexpected supporting turn, Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears makes his acting debut in a role as a fellow submissive, who has a steamy NSFW scene with Skarsgård on a picnic table (featuring a prosthetic with a Prince Albert piercing).
