Stereogum is partnering with Focus Features for free screenings of the new film The Ballad Of Wallis Island in New York and Los Angeles next month. Directed by James Griffiths, the comedy follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musicians, McGwyer Mortimer (Tom Basden & Carey Mulligan) back together. His fantasy turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island. Old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.
