Imogen Poots: Filth, drugs, debauchery and tea shops
In the film adaptation of Irvine Welsh's Filth, Imogen Poots plays it straight alongside James McAvoy's hideously corrupt policeman, the latest in a series of eyecatching supporting roles. So does she yearn to be the lead one day?
• Filth is on release in the UK now
• Watch James McAvoy talking about his role in Filth
Imogen Poots arranges to meet in a tea shop. The music is gentle and the air smells of pine. The decor sparkles white and the drinks sound like fairytales – Enchanted Forest, Gentle Giant, Russian Caravan. A scene from her new film, Filth, pops into my head. Detective sergeant Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy) is having rough sex with a colleague's wife; she tightens a belt around his neck as he screams at her to "cut off the gas". The cafe feels wrong. It would be tough work talking self-annihilation over a cup of Caramel Sweetheart.
