The trailer for the romantic fantasy film 'Wicker' has captivated audiences online due to its unconventional premise: a woman who hires a basketmaker to create the perfect husband for her. Based on Ursula Wills-Jones' short story, the film stars Olivia Colman as the Fisherwoman, a woman ostracized by her village, who commissions Peter Dinklage's basketmaker to craft a husband out of wicker.
This unusual husband, played by Alexander Skarsgård, appears muscular and capable of fulfilling his new wife's every need and desire. The film has garnered significant attention, with fans creating memes and gifs reacting to the bizarre premise. The promotional popcorn bucket, designed from Skarsgård's torso, has further fueled the online frenzy.
The filmmakers, Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, have noted the popularity of the Wicker Husband and believe it stems from the film's exploration of imbalance in heterosexual relationships. Their lead character, the Fisherwoman, is a strong, autonomous woman who challenges societal norms. The film also delves into the complexities of dating and romance, addressing the mental load of domestic tasks and the fear of judgment from others.
Through its portrayal of a "monster" in the form of a man made of wicker, 'Wicker' taps into the growing genre of monster-human romances that explore societal issues and desires through unconventional relationships.
