An estranged family, brimming with talent and eccentricity, are confronted with their own dysfunction when gathered together by their ailing father. Featuring a mesmerising central performance by the late Gene Hackman, alongside a wonderful ensemble cast, and replete with Anderson’s trademark visual flair, this is an intimate exploration of regret and redemption. Film writer and author of Close-Ups: Wes Anderson Sophie Monks Kaufman will introduce the screening. There will be a discussion following the film inviting reflections on the neurodivergent-coded aspects of Anderson’s cinema.
Relaxed screenings are presented each month for neurodivergent audiences, with their companions and assistants. More detailed information can be found at bfi.org.uk/relaxed.
