Harry Lighton’s directorial debut, Pillion (2025), is everything it says on the tin and more. Inspired by Adam Mars-Jones’s novel, Box Hill (2020), we follow the relationship—or, perhaps more appropriately, arrangement—shared between two gay men living in south-east London—one an unassuming, barbershop-singing parking warden, and the other a mysterious, unabashedly kinky biker.
