Part of the American Film Theatre Collection, though British in origin and set in London, this Harold Pinter play is directed for the screen by Peter Hall. Teddy (Michael Jayston) brings his wife Ruth (Vivien Merchant) home to meet his estranged family: his pathetic father Max (Paul Rogers), senile uncle Sam (Cyril Cusack) and unsavoury brothers Lenny (Ian Holm) and Joey (Terence Rigby). Teddy and Ruth's visit opens up old wounds for the family, bringing up secrets from their murky past.

ReviewsAtom Egoyan - Director - ...Its poetry and twisted sense of compassion and humour have assuaged many moments of despair and confusion. Other people have religion, I have my copy of THE HOMECOMING...

Additional InformationPossibly the best of the universally excellent films produced by the American Film Theatre, producer Ely Landau's programme that allowed moviegoers to subscribe to film versions of classic plays, Peter Hall's THE HOMECOMING is a magnificent adaptation of Harold Pinter's play. In it, a successful philosophy professor named Teddy (Jayston) braces himself to return to his North London home for the first time in nine years to introduce his wife Ruth (Merchant) to his family. Unfortunately, this family consists of an assortment of abusives and miscreants (played by Cyril Cusack, Paul Rogers and Ian Holm) that make the atmosphere very uncomfortable for Teddy and turns his wife into the catalyst for a multitude of conflicts and revelations.

Pinter mastery
Pinter was the master of making poetry from everyday talk and this is a good example underpinned by a strong cast.
