Review of The Cement Garden (1993) by Luke P — 29 Aug 2010
Adolescent brother and sister assume adult roles when their parents both die, straying into forbidden territory in the process. Its subject matter is taboo and the whole story rather dark, but for me this has become a cult classic.
It studies relationships, sexual awakening and psychological breakdown, all set against a gorgeously sparse London cityscape you will not recognise, that seems to sit outside of time. Great performances and tremendous ambience.
