Director Raine Allen-Miller makes her debut with Rye Lane, a fresh take on the boy-meets-girl formula. It's described as a love letter to south London - and also features a cameo from romcom royalty
Rye Lane, the new debut feature from Raine Allen-Miller, is another one. Set in Peckham, south London, twenty-somethings Yas, a wannabe fashion designer, and Dom, an accountant, are both getting over break-ups, and the film follows them as they connect throughout the course of one eventful day. It's a romcom, yes, but one about two average people and the everyday encounters that push them closer."I find the word 'romcom' just so cheesy," Allen-Miller tells Sky News.
All genres of film should evolve, she says, but the romcom is particularly guilty of being formulaic."It doesn't really branch out to being, like, recognised or 'critically acclaimed' cinema. You don't think of that when you think of a romcom, you think of something you just sort of enjoy." Allen-Miller is a new filmmaker looking to change that. Shot with wide-angle lenses that produce almost a fish-eye effect in some scenes, Rye Lane is dreamlike and cartoonish, but at the same time grounded very much in reality; a world filled with popping colours where the periphery is all part of the action, giving a sense of the hustle and bustle of an area that was once best known as the home of Del Boy.
"It was so important for me to represent it in a way that felt fresh and not doom and gloom," she says."This is about south London on a good day. It's really important to make a point of that, that it's a good day. It's not always a good day, but this is about a good day. And that was my inspiration."
