The Dead 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray presents John Huston’s elegiac final film, adapted from James Joyce’s masterful short story. Set during a snowy Dublin winter at the turn of the twentieth century, the film unfolds over a family gathering filled with music, warmth, and ritual. Only later, in the privacy of their hotel room, does Gretta (Anjelica Huston) reveal a long-buried secret to her husband Gabriel (Donal McCann), transforming the evening’s festivities into a meditation on memory, longing, and the quiet ache of lives once lived. Bathed in nostalgia and melancholy, The Dead stands as Huston’s moving farewell—a poetic reflection on love, loss, and the passage of time.
