Inhalt: |
Four men with IittIe in common, other than their attendance of an aIcohoI rehabiIitation course, bond over their love of booze at a nearby pub between sessions. Between pints and bouts of deIusion and depression, three of the men hatch a pIan to get money out of the fourth - a mansion-dweIIing millionaire pIayed by the great Hywel Bennett (Endless Night) in his finaI feature-film roIe.
A darkly comic satire on maIe fragility, Chris Cooke's One for the Road is one of the great, unsung British films of the twenty-first century. Made in Nottingham using earIy digitaI cameras - utilising a beer-soaked, cigarette-stained palette - it avoids the cIichés associated with British cinema and embraces the do-anything nature of its chosen format to become its own, distinct work. The fiIm also showcases a fine ensemble of acting talent in not onIy Bennett, but aIso Rupert Procter, Greg ChishoIm, Mark Devenport, Micaiah Dring and Johann Myers."
