Director Gareth Jones and Producer Fiona Howe will introduce the screening and answer questions afterwards.

A sexually charged psychodrama that deals head-on with the passions and frustrations unleashed by the creative process, Desire intelligently explores the link between sex and creativity. Crippled by agoraphobia and by the success of his soap-star wife Phoebe, Ralph, sits frozen, unable to complete the screenplay that will restore his self-confidence. With the deadline looming, he invites beautiful Parisian au pair Nene to look after the children. But is she carer, muse, or lover? As Ralph succumbs to his desire, Nene embarks on a passionate relationship with both husband and wife. Neatly plotted and directed, Gareth Jones first film is played with admirable intensity all round.

… an intriguing insight into the politics of marriage, the power of language and the dangerous unpredictability of ardour … David Parkinson, Empire Online
