Landmarks 4-6

Final three episodes of Donnellan’s six-parter, mirroring the seven ages of man by tracing a line from birth to death.

This is one of the first times Landmarks has screened in its entirety since broadcast. The second half opens with The Fortress, a tour of the then-brand-new brutalist Sheffield housing estate Park Hill described variously by its tenants as ‘heaven’ and ‘like a jail’.

In House of Friends we watch the world go by at the Turk’s Head in Brierley Hill, including a brief cameo from Joe Mallen of Chainsmith fame, a spot of pigeon-racing, and some hair-raising Black Country tales (also showing in Netherton on Monday 23rd). The series closes with The Last Refuge, Richard Marquand’s candid, heart- breaking portrait of a workhouse-turned-rest-home in Daventry. Ticket also covers admission to the earlier screening of Landmarks 1-3.
