I cannot tell a lie, I nearly expired. Consider yourself warned.

I finished watching Unrelated this evening. It's the movie Tom Hiddleston made straight out of RADA, and his first with Joanna Hogg, who also directed him in Archipelago (which I'm also working through). He plays a snotty jerk named Oakley who's kind of the ringleader of the kids who are vacationing with their parents in this villa near Siena. The film itself is actually really, really good -- he's a secondary character, but the protagonist is Anna, a middle-aged woman who arrives in Italy alone, and is feeling very out at sea for reasons that are revealed as the story unfolds. Legitimately good film, and very British and indie. You can download it here! It's only about 90 minutes long, and very pretty to look at too.

I just want to point out before I post these few preliminary screencaps that yes, they are skinny dipping, and yes, the answer to your question is yes.



So this is Oakley! Or rather, one particular shot in which you're like, OMG HONEY, you are a BABY. Where are your gorgeous angles?



Then there's the random scene where they're all coating each other with mud. I cannot tell you how much I want Loki/Sif featuring this. Who knew?

And then we find that Tom is... really pretty when you put him in water.



I'm just... going to leave these here. (Aside from his shining English hide, which I find hilarious.)













Yup.
