Transmissions Presents: the Mother (2003)

From screenwriter Hanif Kureishi (My Beautiful Laundrette),Daniel Craig stars opposite Anne Reid in a scandalous British drama about a recent widow who falls into bed with the younger man who just happens to also be sleeping with her daughter inThe Mother (2003).

Known primarily for her duties as mother and wife, and always putting others’ lives and wants first, May (Reid) sees the presence of the scruffy and beguiling Darren (Craig) as an irresistible chance at passion and pleasure, but her affair threatens to upend her entire family unit.
 
Named one of the year’s best by none other than John Waters on release, The Mother (2003) is a portrait of the tug of desire that calls us to ignore sense and start living.

Find us downstairs at Dalston Superstore for a rarely-screened, deeply felt melodrama.
