Ebony and Ivory

A hallucinatory fever dream of a film, EBONY AND IVORY re-imagines the fabled first meeting between Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder as an absurdist, grotesque, and utterly baffling descent into comedic madness. Think Reeves & Mortimer at their most unhinged, soaked in the sinister weirdness of The League of Gentlemen, all wrapped up in a kaleidoscopic, off-kilter vision from director Jim Hosking (The Greasy Strangler).

Paul (Sky Elobar) welcomes Stevie (Gil Gex) to his remote Mull of Kintyre farmhouse—via rowing boat, naturally—for what might become the greatest plea for racial harmony ever recorded. Between hits of “doobie woobies” and a complete annihilation of Linda McCartney’s vegetarian ready meal range, the two musical legends spiral into increasingly bizarre conversations about sheep, the meaning of true genius, and the terrifying weight of artistic immortality.

What follows is an anarchic, unsettling, and wildly funny two-hander that veers between surrealist farce and nightmarish fever dream. It’s a world where reality fractures, comedy curdles, and the line between genius and gibberish is so blurred you may need your pulse checked by the time the credits roll.
