Introduction by director of photography Fred Murphy on December 26!
Huston’s health was rapidly deteriorating when, bent on conquering one more allegedly unfilmable literary text, he chose to bring to the screen the magisterial final story in James Joyce’s Dubliners. In The Dead, a middle-aged man (Donal McCann) accompanies his wife (Anjelica Huston) to a lavish dinner party and feels himself stir with desire for her on the long ride back to their hotel. Their night ends—as adapted from one of the most devastating passages in English-language literature—with a confession on her part and a kind of epiphany on his. Huston’s final film is one of the medium’s great swan songs, a work of quiet grandeur and impeccable grace that ends with a valediction to do its source text proud.
