The Anniversary Party



This is another one of those little unknown gems that get found for a few pounds and turn out to be hidden treasures. I first saw this film a few years ago and loved it. Allan Cumming and Jennifer Jason Leigh play the troubled couple who throw themselves a party on their sixth anniversary. The two of them wrote, directed and produced the film managing to capture beautiful and horrifically awkward moments of love and friendship.

The cast is outstanding, boasting Gwyneth Paltrow, Phoebe Cates, Kevin Kline and John C. Reilly... Oh and the neighbours! After the guests share their stories everyone drops some Ecstasy just to give the drama and conversation that little kick-start it needs! A fantastic film that may just about sneak into my top ten favourites.
