Mubi Picks Up Molly Manning Walker’s Feature ‘How To Have Sex’ Ahead Of Cannes Debut
deadline.comMubi has acquired British filmmaker Molly Manning Walker’s debut feature How to Have Sex, which is set to debut in Un Certain Regard at the forthcoming Cannes Film Festival.
The streamer has taken all rights for North America, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Latin America, Turkey, and Benelux. Announcing the deal, Mubi said theatrical releases are planned for “key territories,” including the US and UK, while a theatrical release in the Benelux will be hosted in partnership with Imagine Film Distribution.
Following theatrical releases, the film will debut on MUBI in all territories acquired. Written and directed by Walker, the pic stars Mia McKenna-Bruce (Persuasion, Kindling) alongside Lara Peake (Mood, Brave New World), Shaun Thomas (Ali & Ava, The Long Shadow), Samuel Bottomley (Somewhere Boy, Ladhood), and newcomers Enva Lewis and Laura Ambler.
The film was shot by Nicolas Canniccioni (Frontiers, Rojek). Billed as an “exuberant, nuanced and painfully honest” tale about the intricacies of teenage friendship and how we learn to have sex, the pic follows three British teenage girls who go on a rites-of-passage holiday – drinking, clubbing, and hooking up, in what should be the best summer of their lives.
