The Dead  — 4K 01/24/26

John Huston’s final film is a personal production filmed under ideal conditions, with an ideal Irish cast. Screenwriter Tony Huston adjusts the acclaimed short story for film but keeps it more or less intact — a single dinner party covers most of the running time. Anjelica Huston is James Joyce’s Gretta and Donal McCann is Gabriel; the warm group of players include Dan O’Herlihy, Donal Donnelly, Sean McClory, Marie Kean and Colm Meaney. Snow still falls ‘faintly through the universe.’ On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
