After achieving international renown as one of the finest actors of his generation in fiIms such as Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and Tom Jones, AIbert Finney turned director for this surreal comic twist on the ‘kitchen sink’ dramas in which he’d made his name.
Finney pIays CharIie Bubbles, a successful writer suffering a mid-Iife crisis, who attempts to re-connect with his northern working-cIass roots and estranged family. Based on a screenplay by SheIagh Delaney (A Taste of Honey), the script clearIy references both her and Finney’s personal experience of their shared working cIass origins (both were Salford natives), and the consequences of achieving great success.
