Look Back In Anger

A powerful adaptation of one of modern drama's most celebrated plays. Since it first premiered on Londons West End in 1956, John Osbornes LOOK BACK IN ANGER has shocked audiences with its blunt portrayal of domestic realism. Now available for the first time on DVD, Academy Award-nominee Kenneth Branagh (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) and Academy Award-winner Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility) star in this powerful Thames Television adaptation of Osbornes enduring classic. LOOK BACK IN ANGER tells the simple but gripping story of Jimmy Porter (Kenneth Branagh), an angry young man with a college education and a dead-end job. Feeling trapped by his circumstances, his squalid post-war flat, and spurred on by self-pity, Porter lashes out against his wife, Allison (Emma Thompson), his lover, Helena (Siobhan Redmond), and his business partner, Cliff (Gerard Horan). Fierce, compassionate, funny, and ultimately cathartic, John Osborne's classic "kitchen sink" drama, as directed by Academy Award-winner Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love), is a masterpiece of ensemble acting.
