Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Weekend
Andrew Haigh's 2011 film, Weekend, was one of our favourite films of the 2010s. It follows Russell (Tom Cullen), an introverted gay man in the English city of Nottingham, who has a brief romance with the extroverted Glen (Chris New) over a weekend in October.
