Jon Sanders, director of Painted Angels, which takes a compassionate look at the lives of prostitutes on the American frontier, here observes a gathering of old middle-aged, middle-class friends on the Kent coast to celebrate the 65th birthday of the genial, acerbic Ken, whose 40-year marriage is about to collapse. The title, the long takes, the few camera movements suggest Ozu, but the quiet, understated British movies of Joanna Hogg (director of Archipelago) also come to mind. All the dialogue is improvised, which gives the film a raw, honest feeling of actors digging into their shared creations but inevitably engenders a static, theatrical air.
