About the film:
World Premiere, 2023 Telluride Film Festival
One night, screenwriter Adam, in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, has a chance encounter with his mysterious neighbor Harry that punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As Adam and Harry get closer, Adam is pulled back to his childhood home where he discovers that his long-dead parents are both living and look the same age as the day they died over 30 years ago.
“A sublime masterpiece. A rumination on grief and love, Haigh’s poignant and understated ghost story is one of the best films of the year.”
—Tomris Laffly, The Wrap
All of Us Strangers (2023) is based on the 1987 novel Strangers by Taichi Yamada. The film went on to receive a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor (Andrew Scott) and three Independent Spirit Awards nominations – Best Feature, Best Director, and Best Actor (Andrew Scott).
