Country:UK Language:English/French
Made locally and involving some of our members this is a stunning, beautiful, heart-breaking film. A profound study of how time changes parents into children and children into parents. Full of truth, compassion and dignity.

We hope to welcome the director Tom Browne and his leading actors, Gemma Jones and Richard Johnson to add even more to what promises to be a special occasion.

Gemma Jones talks to Sara Teresa about her role in the film, the Lake District and the Lake District and Jones' roles in Harry Potter and the infamous The Devils.

Thanks to Tom Browne

Critics

“Heartfelt and apparently deeply personal, Radiator is a marvel: a beautiful family portrait that, though modest in its scope, casts a spell that lingers for a long time”

Alex Ramon, Popmatters

“A darkly comic examination of family life, marriage, age and love”
