Packed House for ‘The Dead’

There was a packed house today for the Westport Cinema Initiative’s showing of “The Dead” at Christ & Holy Trinity Church, part of the Westport Library’s WestportREADS celebration of James Joyce’s “Dubliners.” The 1987 film directed by John Huston, starring his daughter Anjelica Huston, was the last film that Huston directed, and it was released posthumously. “The Dead” was adapted from the short story “The Dead” by Joyce from his short works “Dubliners” collection and was set in Dublin in 1904.
