Kathryn Worth as Anna with Tom Hiddleston as Oakley in Unrelated: "What she really wants is to be part of a group."
When I met up with Joanna Hogg in New York at the Film Society of Lincoln Center she was preparing for the Us theatrical release of her latest film Exhibition, starring Viv Albertine and Liam Gillick with cameos from members of her Unrelated cast, Tom Hiddleston, Mary Roscoe and Harry Kershaw. Hiddleston also stars in her second film Archipelago with Lydia Leonard, Kate Fahy, Amy Lloyd and Christopher Baker.
Joanna was selected in 2013 to have her films screened in the Emerging Artists program along with Fernando Eimbcke at the 51st New York Film Festival.

Joanna Hogg's excellent second feature revisits the English middle classes, this time on a tense farewell family holiday
Two years ago the British writer-director Joanna Hogg made her feature debut with Unrelated, a highly promising movie about a middle-class woman in her mid-40s leaving her husband in England to spend a holiday with a party of well-heeled, highly disagreeable friends at a grand Tuscan villa they've hired for a summer vacation. Her second film, the defiantly art-house Archipelago, is a variation on the same situation: a family holidays in the Scilly Isles and the father doesn't turn up. It's a confident advance on the earlier picture and one of the three most formally interesting British movies of the past few years, all directed (or co-directed) by women, the other two being Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor's Helen and Clio Barnard's The Arbor.

Joanna Hogg's debut feature Unrelated (2007) won widespread critical acclaim with its painfully moving depiction of a family going through an emotional crisis whilst on a Tuscan holiday. Hogg's latest film Archipelago (2011) revisits this subject in even more depth, in a drama that examines the slow, quiet disintegration of a middle-class family with awkward poignancy and dark humour.
At the beginning of Archipelago, Edward Leighton (Tom Hiddleston) arrives by helicopter on the remote Scillonian island of Tresco to join his mother Patricia (Kate Fahy) and volatile sister Cynthia (Lydia Leonard). Edward has just quit his career as a city banker, and the family are on holiday to give him a good send off before he departs for an eleven month trip to Uganda.
However, Edward's decision to volunteer in Africa, where he will educate young people about sexual health and the spread of AIDS, is met with ambivalence by his family.

This is the Pure Movies review of Archipelago, directed by Joanna Hogg and starring Tom Hiddleston, Kate Fahy, Lydia Leonard, Amy Lloyd, Christopher Bake. Making the move from staple British Saturday night drama to the heady heights of the London Film Festival cannot be easy for any director. The move from complete anonymity to well known and respected feature film director is a privilege only the few – the very talented – can make. With her second feature film since working on TV shows such as Casualty and London Bridge, Joanna Hogg has cemented her position alongside the likes of Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank) as being a key figure in British cinema.

In her second feature-length film, Joanna Hogg shows us a dysfunctional family full of repressed resentments simmering close to the surface as they settle into a holiday on Tresco, a remote island that makes up part of the Isles of Scilly.
Hogg is a director who enjoys the gritty realism of life in the context of family relationships. Unfortunately on this occasion she is unable to find the balance in the love and hate dynamic felt between siblings and parents and the drab melancholy of life her characters inhabit.
Part of this results from the introduction of two non-actors, Rose, played by professional cook Amy Lloyd, and painting teacher Christopher Baker. Whilst on occasions this can work, particularly with kids, here it adds emphasis to the burgeoning battle between realism and drama, the former conquering to the detriment of the viewers’ ability to immerse themselves in the individual struggle of...

It’s an image fest today but I love it when it’s like that! Earlier I posted some new images from Ken Loach’s new movie, Route Irish and now, Artificial Eye have also released some new images from their movie, Archipelago.
Archipelago stars Christopher Baker, Kate Fahy, Tom Hiddleston, Andrew Lawson, Lydia Leonard, Amy Lloyd, is directed by Joanna Hogg and looks like it’s going to be with us in the UK 4th March.
The movie aired at the London Film Festival last year and they provide the synopsis:
With her son Edward (Tom Hiddleston) about to embark on a volunteer trip to Africa, doting mother Patricia (Kate Fahy) wants to give him a good send-off, and gathers her family together for a getaway to a holiday home on idyllic Tresco, one of the Isles of Scilly. Edward’s father’s attendance is eagerly anticipated, though sister...
