REVIEW
In North London, an all-male beehive of inactivity is ruled with a foul mouth and an iron hand by the abusive Max (Paul Rogers) and his brother, the priggish palace eunuch Sam (Cyril Cusack). Rounding out the precision vulgarity of The Homecoming´s "situation tragedy" are the sons, punch-drunk demolition man Joey (Terence Rigby) and the magnificient Ian Holm (Lord of the Rings, The Sweet Hereafter) as pimp-smart Lenny. When, under cover of darkness, the prodigal son Teddy (Michael Jayston) brings his wife Ruth (Vivien Merchant) home to meet his family for the first time, he gets far more and less than he bargained for. To Teddy´s rueful discomfort, Ruth´s Mona Lisa smile forms the gateway to a labyrinth of Freudian dread, venal family values, and naked neediness that could only come from the mind of Harold Pinter.
Director Sir Peter hall re-renders his original Royal Shakespeare Company London stage triumph as a bleached, claustrophobic delirium that exploits the jagged tempos and seductive tensions of Pinter´s best play as no theater staging could. The New York Times declared the American Film Theatre´s production of The Homecoming, "a movie of astonishing dynamism." Indeed, director Atom Agoyan (The Sweet Hereafter) went so far as to say, "I often find myself seeking solace from this film. Its poetry and twisted sense of compassion and humor have assuaged many moments of despair and confusion. Other people have religion, I have my copy of The Homecoming."..
The Homecoming es una obra superlativa del Teatro del siglo XX llevada al cine con gran destreza. Esta inquietante película , tiene todo el brillo, ingenio y los devastadores diálogos que se esperan de Harold Pinter.
Presentada por Max (Paul Rogers) y su hermano Sam (Cyril Cusack), la historia transcurre en la sala de estar de una casa vieja en Londres, es donde la oscura visión de Pinter de la crueldad familiar despliega su poder. Cuando Teddy (Michael Jayston) lleva a su casa a su mujer Ruth (Vivien Merchant), para presentarla por primera vez. Un oscuro secreto es revelado, y viejas heridas se reabren.
Ian Holm (Lord of the Rings, The Sweet Hereafter) hizo una de las mas finas actuaciones de su carrera como el gamberro vicioso Lenny..
