The Final Cut ★★ 1998 (R)

A self-indulgent, apparently largely improvised mess. Jude (Law) has died and after his friends pay their respects at his funeral, his wife Sadie (Frost) insists they view the home video he'd been working on for the past two years. It turns out Jude must have been quite the voyeur—hidden cameras recorded his pals at their worst behavior, all of which is now revealed to the uncomfortable ensemble. 93m/C VHS, DVD . GB Jude Law, Sadie Frost, Ray Winstone, Ray Burdis, Dominic Anciano, Perry Benson, John Beckett; D: Ray Burdis, Dominic Anciano; W: Ray Burdis, Dominic Anciano; C: John Ward; M: John Beckett.
