    Dir. John Huston, US, 1984, 35mm, 112 mins, color

    Under the Volcano follows the final day in the life of self-destructive British consul Geoffrey Firmin (Albert Finney in an Oscar-nominated tour de force) on the eve of World War II. Withering from alcoholism and attempting to reconnect with his estranged wife (Jacqueline Bisset), Firmin stumbles through a small Mexican village amidst a Day of the Dead fiesta, only further alienating himself. John Huston’s ambitious tackling of Malcolm Lowry’s towering “unadaptable” novel gave the incomparable Finney one of his grandest roles.
