John Huston directed his long-gestating final film, a lyrical adaptation of James Joyce’s seemingly unfilmable short masterpiece, from a wheelchair while he was on death’s door. Adapted by his son Tony and co-starring his daughter Anjelica, The Dead takes place in turn-of-the-century Dublin at Christmastime. The affluent Gabriel and Gretta Conroy see their comfortable bourgeois marriage take an unsuspecting turn when Gretta reveals a haunting love from her youth.
