The director and star of How to Have Sex, the Un Certain Regard-winning drama from Molly Manning Walker, visit the BFI Southbank to talk about the film.
Tara is 16 and heading to the Cretan coastal town of Malia with her best friends Skye and Em. They’ve finished their exams and are all set for a rites-of-passage holiday full of boozing, clubbing and hooking up. For Tara, the trip holds extra importance – she is desperate to lose her virginity before they head home. Staying in the apartment across from the girls is a group of lads. Amongst them, Tara identifies a couple of potential candidates… Manning Walker accurately captures the giddy freedom of a coming-of-age summer, and a very distinct British youth culture. However, among the buzz and nostalgia, she unpacks some the joys and horrors of the teenage-girl experience. Mia McKenna-Bruce (The Dumping Ground), is sensational as Tara, her facial expressions telling us all as Tara’s holiday becomes formative, but not in the way she wished for.
