Orphans (1998)
Country: GB
Technical: col 102m
Director: Peter Mullan
Cast: Douglas Henshall, Gary Lewis, Stephen McCole
Synopsis:
Three sons and a daughter are 'orphaned' when their mother dies and, though they are mostly adults, the film shows how variously lost they are without her.
Review:
Twelve or so manic hours of Glaswegian tragedy and farce, with violence, obscenity and fantasy mixed in. The tone is new, the sentiment clearly heartfelt, which makes the risk-taking more forgivable. Altogether a fresh directorial début that some will find hard to take.
