‘Death at a Funeral’ follows the comic twists and turns of a dysfunctional British family as they gather to mourn the passing of their patriarch. It’s the day of his father’s funeral and Daniel wants everything to go according to plan but his brother is only interested in chatting up a pretty girl at the service; his cousin’s straight-laced boyfriend is convinced that someone is alive in the coffin, and a rogue bottle of hallucinogenic pills keeps popping up. If that isn’t enough, a mysterious visitor from his father’s past threatens to expose the patriarch’s secret unless he is paid a princely sum.
It is up to Daniel to do everything he can to make sure the service goes off without a hitch by holding his oddball family in-line, keeping his father’s secret from leaking to the guests, and finding the darn bottle of pills. ‘Death at a Funeral’ is the riotous tale of one man’s struggle to maintain his dignity while swimming in a sea of calamity.
The film stars Matthew Macfadyen (Pride & Prejudice), Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent, Elf), Alan Tudyk (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story),Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting, Match Point), and Rupert Graves (V for Vendetta), and is directed by Frank Oz (Bowfinger, In & Out).
The last film selected for this year by the English Department is Children of Men. This is a 2006 dystopian science fiction film co-written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón. The script was loosely adapted from P. D. James’s 1992 novel The Children of Men by Cuarón and Timothy J. Sextona and it stars Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Claire-Hope Ashitey, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Caine.
Set in the United Kingdom of 2027, the film explores a grim world in which two decades of global human infertility have left humanity with less than a century to survive. Societal collapse, terrorism, and environmental destruction accompany the impending extinction. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom — perhaps the last functioning government — persecutes a seemingly endless wave of illegal immigrant refugees seeking sanctuary. In the midst of this chaos, Theo Faron (Clive Owen) must find safe transit for Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey), a pregnant African refugee.
The film will be shown in class during the first week of May.
