Wondrous Oblivion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wondrous Oblivion is a British made film, directed and written by Paul Morrison. It was released in 2003. The producer was Jonny Persey.

Set in suburban south London in 1960, several themes run through the film, though the main storyline concerns the friendship between a young boy, David Wiseman (Sam Smith) who is the son of European Jewish immigrants, and his new next door neighbours, father and young daughter Dennis (Delroy Lindo) and Judy (Leonie Elliott) who are West Indian immigrants. The cement which binds their friendship is a deep love of cricket - but the ride is not always smooth. David finds himself falling for the indifferent Judy, but tensions between other families in the street, and a romantic relationship between Ruth Wiseman (Emily Woof) and Dennis, threaten to break apart the neighbourhood.
