The Father
Academy® Award winner for "Best Actor in a Leading Role" (Sir Anthony Hopkins) and "Best Adapted Screenplay" (Florian Zeller, Christopher Hampton), THE FATHER tells the story of Anthony, an 80 year old man, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his daughter, Anne, encouragingly introduces. Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can’t make daily visits anymore and Anthony’s grip on reality is unravelling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her?
