It’s that time again where the good folk behind the Edinburgh International Film Festival begin drip-feeding details of what they have in store for audiences this year. The festival’s 72nd edition, which runs 20 June to 1 July, welcomes the great Kelly Macdonald, who’ll be walking the red carpet in support of her new film, Puzzle.
A remake of a 2010 Argentine film of the same name, Marc Turtletaub’s film sees Macdonald playing wife and mother Agnes who, upon receiving a jigsaw puzzle as a gift, realises a new calling in life. Yes, competitive jigsaw puzzle completing. She co-headlines alongside Irrfan Khan, who plays a no-doubt charismatic puzzle master. The pair join forces and end up training to compete in an international jigsaw puzzle showdown.
