Preview: We Live in Time (15) + ScreenTalk with director John Crowley & actor Andrew Garfield

Andrew Garfield cups Florence Pugh's face, as they are about to kiss

Director John Crowley and actor Andrew Garfield will be in conversation with Barbican Cinema Curator Sonia Zadurian after our preview screening, to discuss this hotly anticipated romantic drama.

Tobias (Garfield) is going through a divorce when he is hit by a car and ends up in hospital. It’s not the usual recipe for romance, but luckily it was ambitious young chef Almut (Pugh) who struck him. Almut waits by his side in the hospital to apologise and the two soon form a connection, leading to a relationship, which sets the stage for an epic romance about the possibilities of life, the prospect of death and what it can mean to love.

We Live in Time is non-linear, so we jump backwards and forwards in this love story; one minute in the past, the next in the future. The juxtaposition of these moments creates new meaning, fresh perspective, and a deeper emotional resonance; the kind that our usual linear experience rarely affords us. A beautiful, deeply moving yet heart-warming tale that will have audiences gripped to the very end.
