FINAL CUT (1999)

Cast

Plot

Jude is dead, and his grieving spouse Sadie (real-life wife Sadie Frost) has gathered together eleven of their closest friends to honour his last request, a private screening of his "work". This turns out to be a video, secretly filmed by Jude, of the assembled mates' most private moments, including drug-taking, secretly copping off with each other and basically bad behaviour. The general impression is of a wannabe "Big Chill", but Jude's annoyingly sanctimonious addresses to the camera only serve to render the whole thing preposterously up itself. Ambitious Brit drama.
