WatchWatch on The Criterion Channel
Against a background of war breaking out in Europe and the Mexican fiesta Day of Death, we are taken through one day in the life of Geoffrey Firmin, a British consul living in alcoholic disrepair and obscurity in a small southern Mexican town in 1939. The consul's self-destructive behaviour, perhaps a metaphor for a menaced civilization, is a source of perplexity and sadness to his nomadic, idealistic half-brother, Hugh, and his ex-wife, Yvonne, who has returned with hopes of healing Geoffrey and their broken marriage.

Perhaps the standards have changed since 1984, but watching this in 2022, I don't feel the impact it perhaps once had. I haven't read the book either, so maybe I am missing something. Jaqueline Bisset is strong, but Albert Finney is unconvincing as a drunk. None of the poison of alchoholism makes its way to the forefront of his effort. Look to Barfly or Leaving Las Vegas for a more realistic (and upsetting) portrayal.
