Brief synopsis of In Memory of My Father

The adult children of a Hollywood mogul decide to take drugs, screw around and film the entire thing for posterity. These individuals are so injured by life they can't help but wince from and lash out at any attempt to connect. The youngest son has been bribed by his estranged father to videotape dad's death and the subsequent aftermath. The subsequent wake consists of the family gathering together while it is falling apart in every other sense. Some doses of ecstasy, some well-timed comic barbs and those damn cameras all further exaggerate the drama of their lives. Collected all in one house, the family will have a little love and lots and lots of screaming.

Rated - 4 starsGreat!

Mosco from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 22/09/2008

I just watched this and couldn't believe the other reviewers never liked it. It's just about relationships but it's all based in one house with everyone there in honour of the families father who has just passed away. The actors do really convincing jobs and the script is great. The more into the film it goes and you get to know the characters more, the better it becomes and I felt wholly satisfied at the end. Great soundtrack by Belle and Sebastien too.

Rated - 1 starsDisappointing!

A customer from Hounslow , 17/10/2008

I was really looking forward to seeing this film as I liked the title and the synopsis appealed to me but it was a sorely disappointing viewing experience. The film felt messy and unstructured and I did not find any of the characters compelling in any way. This is no 'story', There is no compelling protagonist or antagonist. I struggled to make myself watch the whole thing, constantly hoping the film would get more interesting but it never did. It felt like I was watching a random series of uninteresting characters having pointless, random conversations in different rooms in this big mansion. I really wanted to like this film but it was very boring and did not move me in anyway and I did not care about any of the characters. I really regretted renting this film!

A customer from Brechin , 25/10/2008

I tried to watch this for more than ten minutes, and despite forwarding to the next chapters, I'm sorry to say it didn't get any better. I would seriously give this movie a 0 rating.
