Radiator (Feature)

A poignant portrait of familial love between retired couple Leonard and Maria, and their son Daniel, in all its complicated, heart-breaking and life-affirming incarnations.

Co-written with Daniel Cerqueira, Radiator was inspired by Tom Browne’s personal experiences with his own parents, and the film was shot in Cumbria in his late parents’ house. After a warmly received World Premiere at the 2014 BFI London Film Festival, the film went on to win numerous awards across international festivals, including the Audience Award at Glasgow Film Festival, the Grand Jury prize at Dallas International Film Festival, Best International Feature at Galway Film Festival, and the Special Jury Prize at Sarasota Film Festival.

Radiator opened in cinemas on November 27th 2015, released by Picturehouse Entertainment. The film received four-star reviews in The Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Times, The Independent, The Observer, Evening Standard, Empire and Daily Express. It has been called "masterful" and "one of the best British films of the year", and has been described as "a harshly compelling melodrama that floats between Michael Haneke’s Amour and the plays of Samuel Beckett".
