Award Winning Independent Cinema

Potter's (Orlando) eighth feature is a dark, political comedy served up at a dinner party gone very wrong. Janet (Scott Thomas) has just been appointed Shadow Heath Secretary and she decides to celebrate by hosting a party for a few close friends. But as the guests arrive her husband Bill (Spall) makes a shocking announcement and as people’s illusions about themselves and each other go up in smoke, a night that began with champagne ends with blood on the floor. Gleefully nasty, Potter's dark comedy is an anti-Brexit statement about a 'broken England', and a savage satire of British middle-class convictions using both insight and killer wit.

Dir. Sally Potter, UK, 2017, 71 mins. Cast. Timothy Spall, Kristen Scott Thomas, Patricia Clarkson, Bruno Ganz.
