From acclaimed British filmmaker Sally Potter and featuring a star studded cast that includes Patricia Clarkson, Bruno Ganz, Cherry Jones, Emily Mortimer, Cillian Murphy, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Timothy Spall, this witty, sharp and very funny new comedy will be a unmissable date for everyone’s diary.
We saw the film at the Berlin Film Festival back in February and immediately fell in love with it. Here’s a snippet of our initial thoughts.
Theatrical and brief, frenetic though very fun, The Party is one that you must not be late to. A virtually flawless foray that delights constantly. Request an invite at your earliest opportunity.
