I have just rewatched John Huston's swansong "The Dead", his adaptation of the James Joyce short story may yet be his greatest movie. A restrained and austere work it may initiallly require patience, but its serenely careful unravelling of life's apparent certainties will repay it in spades. Beautifully acted, beautiful to look it stars Angelica Huston and one of the best Irish casts ever assembled.
If you like it and are unfamiliar with Joyce read "Dubliners" his very accessible short story collection.
