ट्रिविया
Official submission of the United Kingdom for the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category of the 74th Academy Awards in 2002.

गूफ़
The police car that chases the conductor's stolen car through Cardiff carries UK national police high visibility livery (aka 'battenburg'). The film is set in 1997, and though one or two UK police forces had began rolling it in by then, South Wales Police (who police Cardiff) did not introduce it until about 1999/2000, so would still have been using their regional livery at the time (a band consisting of a two-tier red and white check).

odd revenge tale

This is a beautiful film, so simple and real in its portrayal of a family's difficulties with an Alzheimer's sufferer. And if you like Erik Satie as much as I do, this should be a favourite.

My brother thought the ending was a cop out, but I found it thought provoking.

My only problem was that I was told by the TV guide that Mr. Davies "secretly decides to put into action a plan to get back at the system" - unfortunately I never understood how moving into a nursing home achieved this. I also wondered what happened to Maureen's son - what looked to be a interesting subplot, died almost immediately. Oh, well.

Fortunately, though, the performances were beautifully understated and funny (the "mad as a hatter" English woman springs to mind, look out for her!) and the story still emotionally involving enough for someone who's not so knowledgable of the failings of the Thatcher/Majors government.

More importantly, the film is mostly in Welsh, which is a gorgeous language to listen to. It's great.
