What Nil by Mouth Is About
A family in south London: Ray, his wife Val, Val's brother Billy who is on heroin, their mother and grandmother. Ray's violence starts looking like a joke, then goes into a door, then into his wife. The film rescues nobody and lets nobody explain themselves; it just shows how a week passes in that flat. Gary Oldman's only film as a director, drawn from his own family. The title is the hospital instruction meaning nothing by mouth. Kathy Burke won Best Actress at Cannes.
