"Actor: Anna Mottram"

• Late September | DVD | (24/09/2012) from £8.98   |  Saving you £9.00 (128.76%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Late September takes place over a 24 hour period and follows the course and aftermath of a birthday celebration arranged by a middle-aged woman for her husband to whom she has been married for nearly 40 years. As the day and night progress, old rifts, new relationships and secrets emerge amongst friends, and the underlying tensions in the marriage can no longer be contained. This age group, the post war generation now approaching old age, has not received much attention in film and here their lives, their hopes and fears for the future are portrayed with a total lack of sentimentality but also with great warmth, humour and empathy. The problems these friends face are specific but universal and recognisable to us all. The question of whether it is better to live alone or to live with someone you feel lonely with is never answered but is reflected in different ways within the reality of the individual characters, as it is played out with intensity and honesty in a beautiful Kent house and garden in the shadows of late September.

  In an attempt to revisit a creative collaboration and revive his marriage, a theatre director brings together a group of performers to spend a week with him and his wife in an isolated, mountainous part of southern France. As the work progresses, fiction and reality become blurred and there is a constant tension between the characters emotional lives and the nature of the work - an investigation into the changing nature of love. The couple are haunted by memories and dreams which, in the end, threaten not only the venture but the marriage itself. All this is underpinned by a sense of melancholy, reflected in the songs and music performed, and in the dramatic and implacably beautiful landscape.

  Director Jon Sanders continues to explore his improvisational techniques with great delicacy in his new film Back to the Garden. It is a year since the death of an inspirational theatre director and teacher and his widow is struggling to come to terms with her loss. A group of close friends many of whom are or were actors come to spend the weekend with her to offer their support and to celebrate his memory in an entertaining and moving performance before they scatter his ashes in the garden. Back to the Garden is both a meditation on love and loss and an evocation of the joys and sadness's of later life exploring these themes with humour and tenderness by the improvising cast.
