It premiered at last year's London Film Festival, and now Hunky Dory hits UK cinemas on 2nd March.

Following Minnie Driver's welcome return to films in Barney's Version and Conviction, she stars as a teacher in this musical comedy-drama.

A coming-of-age story set in Swansea during the great heatwave of 1976, her character stages a rock 'n' roll version of Shakespeare's The Tempest involving her students.

The cast of Marc Evan's film includes Aneurin Barnard, Danielle Branch, George MacKay, Kimberley Nixon and Steve Speirs. As you can imagine, it features a killer soundtrack performed by the cast themselves, with covers including Life on Mars?, The Man Who Sold the World and Venus in Furs.
