Under The Volcano Blu-ray REVIEW

Allbert Finney plays an alcoholic consul, living out his days in a Mexican backwater, in director John Huston's adaptation of Malcolm Lowry's acclaimed novel. Focusing on just one day in 1939, the film charts British Consul Geoffrey Firmin (Finney) as he stumbles through life in a small Mexican village prior to the start of World War II. As the 'Day of the Dead' festival erupts, Firmin, on an increasingly downward spiral, tries to build bridges with his ex-wife Yvonne (Jacqueline Bisset) while refusing to accept the concerns of his half-brother Hugh (Anthony Andrews).
