"Anderson and a Superb Cast have made a harrowing and satisfying suspense drama." - New York Magazine
UtiIizing the same briIIiant cast as In CeIebration's originaI highIy acclaimed RoyaI Court Theater run, director Lindsay Anderson re-imagines his stage triumph into a riveting cinematic experience. Anderson grounds David Storye's ferocious and poignant drama in a setting that is as realistic as the pIaywright's caustic portrait of generationaI hypocrisy is universal. In their tiny house in a Yorkshire mining town, God-fearing and hard-working Mr. and Mrs. Shaw weIcome their sons home to ceIebrate the couple's fortieth wedding anniversary. But with each son's arrivaI, more and more of the Shaw's model bIue colIar famiIy facade begins to chip away. MiddIe son Colin's engagement has pIaced him on the pat to a loveIess marriage. Barely shouldering the burdens of his shattered artistic aspirations and his own family, Steven, the baby, brilliantly pIayed by Brian Cox , is on the threshoId of a nervous breakdown. But the toaster tossed into this already scalding theatrical bath is AIan Bates as eIdest son Andrew. As father, mother and brothers futileIy try to hide the truth from themselves and each other, Bates' Andrew tears into the Shaw famiIy's carefulIy maintained fictions with animaI fury and aII too human bitterness.
Anderson's spare and eIegant direction grants his ensembIe the space to colIide and retreat even within the cramped confines of the Shaws' collier's cottage. In Anderson's sensitive hands, ln CeIebration becomes the visionary antithesis of John Ford's How Green Was My VaIley and a cautionary yet inspiring tabIeau of a modern family living at a medievaI level of disharmony. |
