“THIS IS OUR LAST SUPPER”
Politician Janet (Kristin Scott Thomas) has just received a promotion and is hosting a small celebratory party with her husband Bill (Timothy Spall). Among the motley crew of invitees are a spiritual healer, a gender studies professor, a chef and a banker. As the drinks are poured and the incendiary revelations begin to flow, acclaimed director Sally Potter navigates a deliciously dark course through intoxication, extramarital affairs, exploding firearms, terminal illness and acidic insults.
WHY SHOULD YOU SEE THIS FILM?
Featuring a murderer’s row of indie darlings, including Patricia Clarkson, Bruno Ganz, Emily Mortimer, Cherry Jones and Cillian Murphy, The Party is a razor-sharp social satire of the highest calibre. A masterful return to form for cinematic provocateur Sally Potter (Orlando, The Man Who Cried), this film is as much a showcase of her incisive direction as it is her poetic talent for screenwriting. Gird your loins!
