Brian And Charles

Director Jim Archer, Cast: David Earl, Chris Hayward, Louise Brealey, Sundance Official Selection, PG.

Brian And Charles follows Brian, a lonely inventor in rural Wales, who spends his days building quirky, unconventional contraptions that seldom work. Undeterred by his lack of success, Brian attempts his biggest project yet. Three days, a washing machine, and various spare parts later, he’s invented Charles, an artificially intelligent robot who learns English from a dictionary and has an obsession with cabbages. What follows is a humorous and entirely heartwarming story about friendship, family, finding love, and letting go. “Brian and Charles. Charles and Brian. They’re the double-act of the year.” —London Evening Standard
