The Dead (1987)

"The Dead" is a 1987 film directed by John Huston, starring his daughter Anjelica Huston. "The Dead" was the last film that Huston directed, and it was released posthumously. The film is a labor of love at several levels: an adaptation of perhaps one of the greatest pieces of English-language literature by one of Huston's favorite authors, James Joyce; a love letter to the land of his ancestors and the country where his children grew up; and the chance to work with his screenwriter son Tony and his actress daughter Anjelica.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with Thomas Hutchinson, M.B., Director, Programs in Whole Person Care, 91 University, and invited guests, Michael Kenneally, Ph.D., Chair in Canadian Irish Studies, Dept. of English, Faculty of Arts and Science, Concordia University, and Helen McNamara, M.D., M.Sc., Assistant Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology, 91 University.
