Help me find British film

6 replies

90sfilm · 22/08/2023 17:33

Watched a British film around 2011 and have tried searching for it a few times but have never managed to find it.

Some details might not be accurate and my memories are vague and patchy, but the gist is: Romcom.Group of friends. Two friends are practising to perform a synchronised swimming act at a festival(think it might be Fringe Festival although not totally sure.) There is another couple and the guy plays a fiddle in a band. He ends up sleeping with a mutual friend. I think there is a scene where the guy and the friend he sleeps with share some wine in a bar and I think I remember Portishead playing.

The film may have either been filmed in the 90s or set in this decade from my vague memorybof music, clothes and interiors of one of the friend's apartment, which i remember being quite arty.

At the end of the film, there is a marriage and i think that it emerged that the friend who is sleeping with the guy in the band is pregnant.

That's all i have and really hope someone can help as I'm really craving to watch it!

It's not This Year's Love is it? Probably not as I have no memory of any swimming element!

Swimming with men?

Thank you for suggestions but neither of them are the one, unfortunately. I've googled this film so many times and i'm doubting it exists now as i thought surely it would bring up a match.

The synchronised swimming bit was supposed to be a comedy act if i remember rightly? Pretend synchronised swimming or something. A bit of a surreal act at the festival.

I'm gonna give This Year's Love a try though as it sound up my street!

Starstruck? https://www.moviejawn.com/home/2022/2/22/starstruck-at-40-its-time-to-give-the-spotlight-to-this-new-wave-gem

It's Australian but apparently there's a synchronised swimming scene in it.

@ClaraThePigeon Thank you but, no, it's not that either. Looks like an interesting film though! I think the friends in the film i'm thinking of were irish or scottish. It seemed more of a 90s film too or probably was a newish film when i watched it in 2011 but think it may have been at least set in the 90s. I remember really wanting to live in this arty 90s flat that one of them lived in.
