(1987) The Dead
DRAMA.
Adapted from a short story by James Joyce, final film directed by John Huston synonymous for giving us "The Maltese Falcon" and "The African Queen ", in this one showcases kind of a family and friend gathering for a get together, citing poems and piano playing ans dancing before a feast. At this point, I was still not entirely sure who were the center pieces of the occasion, until the couple of the married couple of Gabriel(Donal McCann) and Gretta(Angelica Huston) Conroy were shown toward the end. The movie was nominated for two Oscars.
Anyone familiar with the James Joyce story may enjoy this movie than the ones who didn't, as their is plenty of conversations amongst the characters. I am not familiar with the custom this movie was based on which on "Jan 6 Epiphany dinner" that part of the reason I'm giving this a past was solely because it's Huston's final film and there are no cringe worthy moments just a little boredom.
