Polish author Wladyslaw Reymont’s novel, published in parts between 1904 and 1909, has been adapted several times for the screen.
The film’s co-directors are DK Welchman from Poland and Hugh Welchman from the United Kingdom. The married couple are behind the Oscar-nominated Vincent van Gogh biography Loving Vincent , a film which pioneered the use of the slow and painstaking animation technique seen in The Peasants. Co-written and helmed by and starring British actor Dev Patel, it combines hard-hitting martial arts with a dash of the exploitation crime thriller. The bloodletting and bare skin on display are enough to warrant an R21 classification, for sexual scenes and violence.
The monkey man persona Kid adopts is a nod to the Hindu deity Hanuman, while the villains represent an aspect of the region. Kid is a wrathful deity, striking down the men behind systemic corruption, social inequality and religious hypocrisy.Drift contains ideas attached to the work of acclaimed Singapore film-maker Anthony Chen, such as outsider characters seeking kinship and the need for self-protection struggling against the hunger for connection.
