“A masterful and very tough piece of filmmaking.”
—Roger Ebert

“The epitome of British gangster films.”
—Cinephilia and Beyond

“The political and social tensions make Mackenzie’s film a lasting vision of British tragedy.”
—Slant

Harold Shand is at the top of a criminal enterprise in the heart of London, an organization that Harold sees threatened by internal and external forces over the course of a long Easter weekend. Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren star in the quintessential British gangster film that features Pierce Brosnan in his first on-screen appearance.

Kristen O’Brien, daughter of Handmade Films partner Denis O’Brien, will join us for a discussion following the screening.
