The Dead
Director John Huston’s last film, an elegiac adaptation of a James Joyce short story from “The Dubliners,” is brought to life by an all-Irish cast, including Donal McCann, Rachael Dowling, and Colm Meaney, adding depth and authenticity. Set around 1904, the story unfolds after a festive holiday dinner party, where a couple confronts some challenging aspects of their marriage. The film features Huston’s daughter, Anjelica, and was penned by his son, Tony.
