God's Own Country

press release: Nominated for 1 BAFTA Film Award. Another 29 wins & 31 nominations.

Francis Lee’s debut feature marked the arrival of an essential new voice in independent queer film. A British Brokeback Mountain with a happy ending, the film charts a rugged romance between prickly farmhand Johnny (Josh O’Connor) and Romanian migrant worker Gheorghe (Alec Secareanu). Featuring documentary-like farm footage and a gorgeous landscape paired with gently crafted storytelling, “God’s Own Country” is one of the best gay romances of recent years.
