The Great Escaper
Archived Event
Dir: Oliver Parker | UK | 2022 | 96 mins
Cast | Michael Caine, Glenda Jackson, John Standing
Michael Caine and the late Glenda Jackson (in her final film role) are superb in the new film from Oliver Parker (The Best Marigold Hotel, Mamma Mia); a moving, nuanced drama based on the true story of a WWII veteran’s flight from his care home to the beaches of Normandy.
In the summer of 2014, on the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings, Bernie Jordan (played by Caine) makes headlines after staging a ‘great escape’ from his home, crossing the channel and joining fellow war veterans in France to commemorate their fallen comrades – in doing so, embodying the defiant spirit of a generation.
Parker’s warm, bittersweet film celebrates an adventure that captured the imagination of the world and the culmination of Bernie’s 60-year marriage to Rene (Jackson), while also exploring the lasting trauma of war.
“Caine and Jackson and their ineffable class give this film real grit” ★★★★ The Guardian
