In Celebration (Anderson, 1975): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 8.25pm
This film, which also screens on May 22nd, is part of the Lindsay Anderson season at BFI Southbank. You can find all the details here.
BFI introduction:
Lindsay Anderson’s capacity for drawing out extraordinary performances hits full
flight in this tight, tense domestic drama starring Brian Cox, James
Bolam and Alan Bates. The powerhouse trio play three successful brothers
returning home to celebrate their working-class parents’ 40th wedding
anniversary. As the actors hit their stride, it’s not long before old
secrets, suppressed bitterness and quiet sadness resurface.
Here (and above) is Alan Bates talking about the making of the film.
