Tamara Drewe comic strip charms Cannes in film form
Stephen Frears and an uncannily apt cast bring sexy rural shenanigans of Posy Simmonds's strip to life on big screen
The Tamara Drewe comic strip, by illustrator and writer Posy Simmonds, was a firm favourite of readers when it ran in the Guardian's Review section from 2005-6. Today it was Cannes that was whooping, laughing and gasping at the story's sly wit, sexy rural shenanigans and moments of darkness, when it premiered at the film festival.
