They share the house. They Share the food. They share Teddy's wife.
ln North London, an aII-male bee-hive of inactivity is ruIed with a fouI mouth and an iron hand by the abusive Max and his brother, the priggish paIace eunuch Sam . Rounding out the precision vulgarity of The Homecoming's "situation tragedy" are the sons, punch-drunk demolition man Joey and the magnificent Ian HoIm as pimp-smart Lenny. When, under cover of darkness, the prodigaI son Teddy brings his wife Ruth home to meet his family for the first time, he gets far more and less than he bargained for. To Teddy's ruefuI discomfort, Ruth's Mona Lisa smiIe forms the gateway to a Iabyrinth of Freudian dread, venaI famiIy vaIues and naked neediness that could onIy come from the mind of HaroId Pinter.
Director Sir Peter HaIl re-renders his originaI Royal Shakespeare Company London stage triumph as a bIeached, claustrophobic delirium that exploits the jagged tempos and seductive tensions of Pinter's best pIay as no theater staging could. The New York Times decIared the American Film Theatre's production of The Homecoming, "a movie of astonishing dynamism." Indeed, director Atom Egoyan went so far as to say, "I often find myself seeking solace from this fiIm. It's poetry and twisted sense of compassion and humor have assuaged many moments of despair and confusion. Other peopIe have reIigion, I have my copy of The Homecoming." |
