The Carer @ MBFF


February 18, 2018

Mostly British Film Festival presents the narrative feature, The Carer.

"The story of the unlikely bond between a cantankerous theatrical lion played by Brian Cox (“The Bourne Identity,” “Deadwood”) suffering from Parkinson’s and a young Hungarian woman who comes to care for him (Coco Konig making her film debut with this low-key but winning performance). An aspiring actress, she hopes to pick up some advice in the process. This May-December buddy movie is a glorious showcase for the great Brian Cox, who – in one of his best roles ever as the maddeningly self-absorbed but shrewdly observant thespian - deftly portrays a character considerably less vital than the actor himself. An added delight is to hear the co-stars banter in Shakespearian verse. UK 2016 (89 minutes)"
