Last Orders revives ailing British cinema

Last Orders, based on Graham Swift's Booker Prize winning novel about a group of half-sozzled south London geezers who gather to scatter the ashes of an old mate off Margate pier, reduced critics to tears at its premiere yesterday.
With a cast that reads like a who's who of British cinema from the 1960s onwards, Oscar nominations are already being suggested for Michael Caine, Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, Tom Courtenay and David Hemmings.

I'm excited about this. Last Orders is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read.
