Dangerous Parking (18) is a hallucinogenic rollercoaster of a film that will make you laugh and cry.
Sometimes difficult to follow but always engrossing, the film is based on the novel of the same name by Stuart Browne.
It follows fictional film director Noah Arkwright (Peter Howitt) as a chance encounter with the enigmatic Kristin (Rachel Stirling) forces him to re-evaluate his life and give up the drugs and booze that have driven him so far.
With a top supporting cast including the likes of Sean Pertwee, Saffron Burrows and Tom Conti, the film is fantastically acted on all fronts and will have your head spinning — in a good way — from start to finish.
The constant changes in pace and the mixed-up narrative give the main character a realism which makes us believe in his plight and — whether we like him or not — care about where his story will end.
Having taken on the role of writer, director and lead actor, Peter Howitt has a lot to be proud of about this sometimes hilarious but equally hard-hitting film. Dangerous Parking could be the best Brit flick for many years.
