Based on the 2005 novel of the same name by Japanese-English author Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go is a dystopian drama set in a Britain where human beings are created as scientific specimens to provide donor organs for the terminally ill. The lives of three people - Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Tommy (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightley) - become linked after meeting at an idyllic boarding school in Hailsham in the English countryside and after venturing out into the world as young adults and becoming entwined in a love-triangle, the trio come to realisation of the sinister truth behind their existence. Directed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) from a screenplay by Alex Garland (28 Days Later), Never Let Me Go also stars Sally Hawkins (Made in Dagenham), Charlotte Rampling (The Duchess), Nathalie Richard (Hidden), Domhnall Gleeson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1) and Andrea Riseborough (Brighton Rock). The film generated some positive after screenings last year at the likes of the Telluride, Toronto and London film festivals and has picked up a number of accolades including Best Actress (Carey Mulligan) at the British Independent Film Awards and Best Actor (Andrew Garfield) and the Evening Standard British Film Awards.
Never Let Me Go is set to arrive in UK cinemas tomorrow, and star Keira Knightley has been talking about the film in advance of its release. See what she has to say here...
