Rye Lane Interview: The Strange & Messy Charm of Their Impossibly Sweet Romcom
6You’ve never seen a romantic comedy quite like Raine Allen-Miller's Rye Lane. Not only is the film oozing with style, passion, and authorial expressivity, but it also features two fantastic lead performances that confirm no other actors could have brought Yas and Dom to screen quite like Vivian Oparah and David Jonsson.
Yas and Dom are two 20-somethings living in South London who are both fresh out of relationships. While it may seem like an unlikely time for a new connection to start, Yas and Dom bump into each other at an art gallery and wind up spending the day together. On the surface, Yas and Dom are two wildly different people, but they prove to be the perfect partners for a journey of self-discovery while processing past heartbreak.
With Rye Lane celebrating its debut at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, Allen-Miller, Oparah, and Jonsson visited the Collider Studio presented by Saratoga Spring Water to discuss the evolution of the story from script to screen, the unique charm of these two characters, working on a set packed with ideal collaborators, and more.
Check it all out in this Rye Lane interview!
