40 Competition

Eddie Izzard, Joanne Whalley, Hugo Speer and Kerry Fox head the cast of 40, a powerful drama by Bryan Elsley (Skins), released on 19th May 2008 by 4DVD. Win DVDs!

Seemingly self-contained, each episode is just one allusive fragment in a discordant drama that resolves itself in a sequence of challenging personal realisations. Ever-absorbing, never maudlin, but tinged with a sense of loss, this is a fascinating and suspenseful tale of individuals coping with change and the need to re-evaluate the past and the present, and to face an unexpected future.

It's a scarred landscape comprising the intimate conjunctions between the disparate, dissonant lives of seven 40-year-olds. Contemporaries born and bred in Britsol, the threads of their personal stories, tensions and tangential interconnections inexorably draw together at a disturbing school re-union.
