Wah-Wah is Richard E. Grant's supremely confident and hugely affecting, semi-autobiographical directing debut. This brilliantly entertaining, yet moving, comedy drama stars a sensational ensemble cast including the talents of Gabriel Byrne, Emily Watson, Julie Walters, Nicholas Hoult and Miranda Richardson. Beautifully shot on location in Swaziland, Southern Africa, during the last gasp of the British Empire, Wah-Wah is a coming of age story centred upon Ralph Compton (Hoult) as he conquers family dramas with love, fear, hope and laughter.
