Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Father
2020 (PG-13) 1 hour 37 minutes
Directed (from his own stage play) by Florian Zeller
Starring Anthony Hopkins, Olivia Colman & Mark Gatiss
Aged 85, Sir Anthony Hopkins won an Oscar for his portrayal of Anthony, a retired engineer living alone with advancing dementia. Because he gets confused by what is past and what is present, he is often belligerent towards his caring daughter (Oliva Coleman) Memory is not linear, and the film captures what it must feel like when memories stop connecting. Zeller intentionally plays tricks on the viewer to demonstrate as accurately as possible how terrifying it is to lose one’s grip on reality.
“Anthony Hopkins is superb in an unbearably heart-breaking film” (Peter Bradshaw)
