That Good Night stars John Hurt (The Elephant Man, Midnight Express) in his last leading role as Ralph, a once-famous film director in his seventies who has two missions in life.

Ralph wishes to be reconciled with his son, Michael (Max Brown), and, to ensure that he is not a burden to his devoted wife, Anna (Sofia Helin), as he goes “into that good night”. Ralph hires the services of the mysterious “Visitor” (Charles Dance) who unexpectedly guides him to find new meaning in his life.

Set in the stunning hilltops of the Algarve coastline of Portugal, this life affirming drama exploring family relationships is based on the stage play by NJ Crisp and inspired by the poem of Dylan Thomas. That Good Night is a fine send-off for a remarkable actor.
