Synopsis: | What he does, ingeniously, is interweave past and present in a middle-class bedroom. In the late 1950s we see Louis, an adulterous solicitor, enjoying sex with a female pupil: what he doesn't know until too late is that his son, Tony, is privy to their lovemaking. And in the present we see the family truculently gathering for Louis's funeral. With Tony now a disgruntled middle-aged man hitched to a hideous vulgarian and bitterly resentful of his younger brother, the bedroom is transformed from a passion-pit into a place where past secrets and guilts are indecently exposed. - Billington, Guardian | |||||
