Product Description
Four men with little in common, other than their attendance of an alcohol rehabilitation course, bond over their love of booze at a nearby pub between sessions. Between pints and bouts of delusion and depression, three of the men hatch a plan to get money out of the fourth – a mansion-dwelling millionaire played by the great Hywel Bennett (Endless Night) in his final feature-film role.A darkly comic satire on male fragility, Chris Cooke’s One for the Road is one of the great, unsung British films of the twenty-first century. Made in Nottingham using early digital cameras – utilising a beer-soaked, cigarette-stained palette – it avoids the clichés associated with British cinema and embraces the do-anything nature of its chosen format to become its own, distinct work. The film also showcases a fine ensemble of acting talent in not only Bennett, but also Rupert Procter, Greg Chisholm, Mark Devenport, Micaiah Dring and Johann MyersNew restoration from a 2K scan of an original preservation print by Powerhouse FilmsLimited edition exclusive booklet with a new essay by Thirza Wakefield, archival interviews, an overview of contemporary critical responses, new writing on the short films, and film creditsAuthentic cinema presentation of this digital video-originated productionAudio commentary with writer-director Chris Cooke, producer Kate Ogborn and co-producer Helen Solomon (2003)Audio commentary with actors Greg Chisholm, Mark Devenport and Rupert Procter (2003)Brand new retrospective documentary featuring interviews with Cooke, actors Chisholm, Devenport, Procter and Johann Myers, composer Steve Blackman, and camera operator Steven Sheil (2022)Video diaries with Chris Cooke and Steven Sheil (2003)Original theatrical trailerWebsite ‘virals’ (2003): promotional videos featuring improvised, in-character footage of Devenport and ProcterImage gallery: promotional and publicity materialMap of the Scars (1998): short film written and directed by Chris Cooke, starring Andrew TiernanMap of the Scars audio commentary with Cooke (2003)Shifting Units (2001): short film written and directed by Cooke, about an alcoholic salesman, that served as the inspiration for One for the RoadWhy I Hate Parties (But Pretend to Love Them) (2003): short film co-written and directed by Devenport, with photography by Cooke, and featuring cast members from One for the RoadGary the Rapper vs Stefan Blix (2014): short film co-written and directed by Devenport, with photography by Cooke, starring One for the Road composer Steve BlackmanWhiskers and Jane (2017): short film written by Devenport and Blackman, directed by Devenport, and starring ProcterWorld premiere on Blu-rayLimited edition of 4,000 copies for the UK and US
