And When Did You Last See Your Father?

Oscar winning actor Jim Broadbent and Colin Firth give powerful performances as the father and son from this true-life memoir. Based on the award winning bestselling book by Blake Morrison, And When Did You Last See Your Father is a moving and candid memoir of a son living his last weeks with his dying father who is diagnosed with terminal cancer and only a few weeks left to live. Blake Morrison (Colin Firth) travelled to Yorkshire to stay with his mother in the village where he grew up. He visited his father at the hospital where he had spent so much time with his own patients as a GP. As his father's condition worsened Blake contemplated their shared experiences, the intimacies and the irritations of their relationship. After his father's death Blake questions the nature of the bond between them, articulately expressing the contradictions, frustrations, love and loss bound into the complicated relationships which most of us have with our parents as we grow up.
