Harris Dickinson’s Directorial Debut ‘Urchin’ Gets 5-Minute Cannes Standing Ovation, Plus Lots of Love From Paul Mescal
"Triangle and Sadness" and "Babygirl" star Harris Dickinson has delighted the Cannes crowd with his feature directorial debut 'Urchin'
The film, led by “Fear the Walking Dead” star Frank Dillane and a vivid portrayal of homelessness and mental health on the streets of London, had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard competition. Written by Dickinson, “Urchin” sees Dillane play Mike, a rough sleeper in the British capital trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around following a spell in prison. “Urchin” also marks Dickinson’s return to Cannes just three years after his breakout lead role in Ruben Ostlund’s “Triangle of Sadness,” which would win the Palme d’Or and spark a major ascendency for the British actor.
