Late September: 18th Jan 7pm £10
Set in a picturesque house in Kent, the film is a gently compassionate but never sentimental portrait of later-life relationships. As Ken and Gillian, married for over thirty years, welcome their guests for Ken’s 65th birthday celebrations, a cluster of dormant, resentful sentiments bubbles to the surface, adding further tension to the couple’s already strained marriage. Inviting comparisons with Festen, and early Mike Leigh, Late September nevertheless maintains its unique character. By turns delicately comic and quietly tragic.
“Jon Sanders’ spellbinding Late September……the best kind of magic here, the kind that comes from a seemingly empty hat.” **** Nigel Andrews FINANCIAL TIMES
“Pent-up emotions, sadness and congealed love are magnificently and subtly conveyed by a cast of obviously great experience….. ” **** Jason Solomons MAIL ON SUNDAY
“The discreet excellence of film-maker Jon Sanders is one of contemporary cinema’s best-kept secrets….the whole thing has the glow and patina of a classic.”
