Summary
Ralph Compton (Nicolas Hoult) witnesses the disintegration of his parents' marriage through adultery and alcohol set during the last gasp of the British Empire in Swaziland in 1969. When his father (Gabriel Byrne) remarries an American (Oscar-nominee Emily Watson), Ralph finds she is the only one who can truly understand his inner turmoil. Nominated for Best Actress (Emily Watson) and the Douglas Hickox Award at the **British Independent Film Awards**. *"Deftly balancing the end of British colonialism in Africa against a family's painful disintegration, Wah-Wah marks the impressive directing debut of Richard E. Grant." - Peter Howell, **Toronto Star***
