And When Did You Last See Your Father? is from Blake Morrison's moving and candid memoir of his father in the weeks leading up to his death.

When Arthur Morrison was diagnosed with terminal cancer he had only a few weeks left to live. Morrison travelled to Yorkshire to stay with his mother in the village where he grew up. He visited his father at the hospital where he had spent so much time with his own patients as a GP.

As his father's condition worsened Morrison contemplated their shared experiences, the intimacies and the irritations of their relationship. After his father's death Morrison questions the nature of the bond between them, articulately expressing the contradictions, frustrations, love and loss bound into the complicated relationships which most of us have with our parents as we grow up.

I loved this movie - Broadbent was wonderful. Colin Firth was fantastic as the son who was losing his dad. I would love to see Firth do something that he can really get his teeth into rather than the urbane Mr Darcy type role they keep dropping him into. jani on 14/08/2008 at 10:12:02 AM

I loved this Movie Jim Broadbent was magic as the father typical of that time. Colin Firth was a bit dour, but it was a sad time for him. Not for everyone especially if you have a parent who is terminally ill. mejulie on 6/08/2008 at 2:27:00 PM
