New Red-Band Trailer For Brit Comedy ‘Powder Room’

A brand new red-band restricted trailer has arrived for British black comedy POWDER ROOM. The film is led by Sheridan Smith as the unlucky-in-love Sam, who takes us on crazy night out with a few of her best friends. It’s an adaptation of the acclaimed play When Women Wee, and is written by Rachel Hirons and directed by M.J. Delaney. Smith is joined by Kate Nash, Jamie Winstone, Onna Chaplin, Riann Steele and Sarah Hoare in the film arriving in UK cinemas from the 6th December.

International Emmy Award nominee, Sheridan Smith, plays Down-on-her-luck Sam, who leads us on a comedic and voyeuristic journey into the lives of a multitude of women at all stages of love and life over the course of one crazy night out.  Amidst the shambles of a night on the town, she realises her life is an empty mess, coloured only by her dysfunctional, but devoted ensemble of close friends, Chanel (Jaime Winstone), Saskia (Sarah Hoare) and Paige (Riann Steele). She wants to grow up, but is finding it difficult. In an attempt to broaden her horizons, Sam meets up with her old college friend Michelle (Kate Nash), who she hasn’t seen for years, and Michelle has subsequently gone to Paris, has a glamorous job, earns a lot of money, has got engaged, and is living the life that Sam aspires to and enviously follows on Facebook. Michelle has brought her friend Jess (Oona Chaplin), who is even more intimidatingly glamorous. Sam feels inadequate and inhibited in their company, so starts telling little white lies. It all spirals out of control until she’s created an entirely fictional existence. Sam spends her whole evening trying to stop this house of cards from falling down. Faced with some very harsh realities, can Sam remain true to herself and find a way back from rock bottom?

We’ve also added a showreel featuring work by director Delany and the group Fake Club, whose fun music also feature in the film.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
