Voice Over
A film by Christopher Monger
‘Fats’ Bannerman is enjoying success as the writer and presenter of Thus Engaged, a romantic radio serial about the lives and loves of a Regency heroine. But when grim reality violently intrudes into Fats’s life, his frail fantasies become unbalanced and his ability to separate fact from fiction breaks down, with devastating consequences. Featuring a compelling central performance from the great British screen actor Ian McNeice, this controversial film from award-winning Hollywood director Christopher Monger caused a sensation upon its original release.
