The classic drama that defined a generation Since it first premiered in London’s West End in 1956, John Osborne’s LOOK BACK IN ANGER has shocked audiences with its blunt portrayal of domestic realism. Now available for the first time on DVD, Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh (Hamlet, Henry V ) and Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility) star in this powerful adaptation of Osborne’s enduring classic. Feeling trapped by his circumstances, his squalid post-war flat, and spurred on by self-pity, Jimmy Porter (Kenneth Branagh) lashes out against his wife Allison (Emma Thompson), his lover Helena (Siobhan Redmond), and his business partner Cliff (Gerard Horan). Fierce, funny, and cathartic, John Osborne’s classic “kitchen sink” drama as directed by Academy Award® winner Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love) is a masterpiece of ensemble acting.
