A Fantastical British drama will be screened tonight at Bahrain Cinema Club, Juffair.
Directed by Toa Fraser, Dean Spanley tells the story of the titular character (played by Sam Neill).
Sickly Horatio Fisk (Peter O’Toole), still grieving over the death of his oldest son, attends a talk on reincarnation by a visiting swami (Art Malik).
There, along with his younger son Henslowe (Jeremy Northam), they meet the charismatic Spanley and businessman Wrather (Bryan Brown).
Horatio and Dean become fast friends and meet frequently for dinner.
Dean, though, is no ordinary guest – he claims to be the reincarnation of a dog, which only intrigues Horatio more.
Peter O’Toole was nominated for British Supporting Actor of the Year at London Critics Circle Film Awards.
The film will begin at 7pm
