Members’ Screening: Archipelago
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Archipelago, dir. Joanna Hogg, United Kingdom 2011, 114 min. English, 15

To celebrate the release of Joanna Hogg’s latest film The Souvenir, the ICA screens the director’s 2010 drama Archipelago – an excruciatingly honest and darkly comic deconstruction of upper-middle-class sensibilities.

Edward (Tom Hiddleston) arrives on a remote island off the English coast, to join his mother and sister who have organised a holiday to say goodbye to Edward before he embarks on a year of voluntary service in Africa. Hired cook Rose and painting teacher Christopher join the family in their rustic cottage and on day trips around the island. But Edward's father repeatedly fails to join the gathering, instead communicating with his wife and children via a series of increasingly strained phone-calls. His absence serves to bring the family's buried anger and repressed emotions to the surface and underlying tensions are gradually revealed through raw scenes of bitter sibling rivalry and marital disharmony.
