Cemetery Junction (2010 Ricky Gervais & Stephen Marchant & scr)

Christian Cooke, Tom Hughes & Jack Doolan, Felicity Jones, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, Ricky Gervais, Julia Davis, Anne Reid (gran), Matthew Goode (Match Point, Single Man, Brideshead), Steve Speirs (nice cop), Burn Gorman (nasty cop).

Not exactly original, with echoes of everything from Billy Liar to Saturday Night Fever and Good Will Hunting to Mean Streets, but convincing. Best scene: Cooke offering to dance with Mortimer (and ash in retirement bowl).

Wisely they chose Remi Adefarasin to shoot it (in Panavision).
