A man forces his friends to take a long, hard look at themselves in this unconventional British drama. Shortly after the death of Jude (Jude Law), his partner Sadie (Sadie Frost) invites a number of their friends to a wake at her apartment, where they gather to watch footage from a video documentary that Jude had been working on at the time of his death. The guests are shocked to discover that the "documentary" consists of hidden camera footage showing nearly every one of them at their worst. Several of the men are caught snorting cocaine, while another rummages through Sadie's laundry basked for her soiled underwear. Holly (Holly Davidson) takes money from the purse of her friend Lisa (Lisa Marsh), while Holly complains about her unsatisfying sex life with her husband John (John Beckett), who is confined to a wheelchair.

    This movie within a movie is a very unusual film. Part ensemble piece, part psychological drama and part mystery, it shows what happens when a group of friends gather together to remember their friend, Jude, who has just died. His girlfriend, Sadie, plays a video that Jude made before he died. It captures everyone at their very worst, doing things better left alone, and no one escapes the damage it causes, not even Sadie. Like a bad accident, the viewer wants to turn away, but is compelled to watch. Not for every taste, but I thought it was brilliant.
