series Home for the Holidays
Directed by John Huston | 1987
With Anjelica Huston, Donal McCann, Dan O'Herlihy, Donal Donnelly, Helena Carroll
“One of the great romantic films, fearless in its regard for regret and tenderness.”
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
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.
