Dir. Colin Gregg, UK, 1982, 111 mins. Cast. Gary Oldman, Timothy Spall, John Altman.We are delighted to welcome the film’s scriptwriter, Hugh Stoddart, who will be in conversation with writer Johnny Mains on Thursday October 3rd.
This rarely seen British film is set around the pubs and clubs of the then-notorious Union Street in 1980s Plymouth and follows a group of young Royal Navy sailors during their last 24 hours ashore before their ship sets sail on a six-month naval exercise.
Colin Gregg's direction and Hugh Stoddart's script skilfully cuts between the interweaving stories of several characters as they prepare for the coming months at sea. The ensemble cast includes early performances from the likes of Timothy Spall, John Altman and Gary Oldman (in his big-screen debut).
One of the first films produced by Channel Four, where it was broadcast after a short theatrical run in the summer of 1982, Remembrance’s initial release was given added poignancy and relevance by the outbreak of the Falklands War a few months earlier and has rarely been screened since.
