This is more like it. DVD review.Three brothers (Bates, Bolam, and Cox) return home for their parents' ruby wedding anniversary.Extremely watchable play-like movie (set in one room) concerning the memories of three brothers. At first they're all a happy bunch but as the day moves on bitter memories surface. What's interesting is how chatty the father (Owen) is but the mother is reserved. I'm sure if it were three daughters instead of sons then the mother would be the boisterous one. What's also interesting is how different the brothers are - Bates talks too much, Cox is uncomfortably silent, and Bolam appears gay. None of them bring their girlfriends along - are they ashamed of their backgrounds? Terraced houses, coal mining, working class values, remembering the war, nosy neighbours, cups of tea, and unhappy families - this movie is a continuation of those kitchen-sink British dramas from the '60s. For two hours I couldn't take my eye off the screen - great little seen movie.In Celebration puts most of today's Brit movies to shame.
