The elegiac last film by John Huston finds the legendary director adapting a masterly short story by his favorite writer, James Joyce, into a poignant reflection on the totality of life. During a snowy winter in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Dublin, the members of an extended family convene for a night of wine, song, and celebration - but it's not until after the festivities that Gretta (Anjelica Huston) reveals a secret to her husband (Donal McCann) that casts the entire evening in a new light. Aglow with a mix of nostalgia and melancholy, and featuring a cast of stellar Irish actors, The Dead gracefully evokes the passage of time and the haunting power of memory.

Special Features: Documentaries: 'John Huston and the Dubliners' (1987), Interviews: Colum McCann (author), Audio excerpts from actor Anjelica Huston's 2014 memoir 'Watch Me'; Essay by Michael Koresky (author/film critic) and a 1987 piece by Tony Huston (screenwriter) about the making of the film; New cover by Leanne Shapton
