Wax & Film: The Ballad of Wallis Island

🎞️ Anti Social Hours and Wax & Film present:

The Ballad of Wallis Island

🗓 Wednesday, August 6 | ⏰ Doors: 6 PM | 🎬 Film: 8 PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh

Set on a remote Welsh island, this poignant 2025 comedy‑drama reunites a once-famous folk duo — played by Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan — with their most ardent fan, the eccentric (and lottery‑rich) Charles Heath. Over quiet conversations and a private beach concert, the film explores themes of memory, regret, and the power of music to heal. Imagine Local Hero meets A Christmas Carol — gentle whimsy underscored by emotional depth. 

💬 “The director James Griffith’s The Ballad of Wallis Island is a sublime, adorable comedy whose roots can be traced to a short Griffith made eighteen years ago.” – RogerEbert.com 

💬 “At once an odd-couple bromance, a quite respectable musical outing, and a nostalgic look at the memories we all lock up in the harmonies in our heads.” – NPR 

🎟 Free Entry & Popcorn – Arrive early for best seats (sofa, bed, or beanbag).
