Pillion

Directed by Harry Lighton2025UK/Ireland106 mins

February 12, 2026. Join us for a special pre-Valentine's Day screening of Pillion on February 12 at the newly-reopened Castro Theatre. Presented by A24, the film will be followed by a Q&A with writer/director Harry Lighton and actor Harry Melling.

Written and directed by Lighton, this erotic comedy drama centers on a timid man (Melling) who is swept off his feet when an enigmatic, impossibly handsome biker (Alexander Skarsgård) takes him on as his submissive. Be among the first to see what IndieWire hails as “a deeply moving love story… chains, gags, and all.”
