When a wise-cracking New York writer and a reserved London bookdealer strike up a correspondence over their shared love of dusty old books, neither expects to find a lifelong friend tucked between the pages.
Told through real-life letters, this heartwarming tale unfolds across two decades and an ocean. Amid post-war rationing, royal coronations, and the rise of Beatlemania, their bond only deepens, proving some of the most meaningful relationships are written into existence.
Co-directed by and featuring Mark Kilmurry, alongside double Gold Logie winner Georgie Parker, 84 CHARING CROSS ROAD is a celebration of connection, compassion, and the joy of finding kindred spirits in the most unlikely places.
