#340 - Anthony Hopkins in The Father - WatchThis W/RickRamos - a podcast by Rick Ramos

The Branches, The Wind, & The Rain: Florian Zeller's The Father

This week Ibrahim & I discuss a wonderful new film featuring an exceptional performance from the iconic Welsh actor, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Florian Zeller's The Father. Please make time to watch this beautifully told, intricately paced and structured story centering on the slow mental deterioration of a man (Hopkins) brought on by advancing age. At 84 Hopkins continues to surprise, touch, and endear himself to audiences. The Father is a truly magnificent, late-career performance with wonderful supporting performances from Oscar winner Olivia Colman (The Favourite 2018), Olivia Williams, Mark Gatiss, Rufus Sewell and Imogen Poots. This is a painful film to watch, however it is also touching and - finally - affirming. Please give it a chance.

Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Thank you for your continued support.

* Please note: This is a film best experience with as little information as possible. We recommend that you watch the film before listening to this podcast as we give away many plot details in our discussion and critique of the film*
