Cemetery Junction

British comedian, writer and director Ricky Gervais joined forces with fellow Brit, Stephen Merchant for his sophomore film going down the memory lane. In the 1970's England, three working class men try to escape their small town and its trappings, only to find themselves as adults. Gervais and Merchant tap into the formula trap to create this nostalgia infused homage to a bygone era full of its cliches and idealism. The best moments are the details in the conversations between several characters that seem genuine with its candor. Newcomers Christian Cooke and Tom Hughes star along with Felicity Jones and Matthew Goode and the strong support of veterans such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, Anne Reid, Gervais and Merchant. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
