The filmmaker who criticized the royal culture of England died

According to the film reporter of Fars news agency, British director Malcolm Mowbray passed away at the age of 74. Mowbray is known for his dark and biting comedies. The peak of his work in this style goes back to the movie “A Private Function” in 1984.

Mowbray, in the film “A Private Function” written by Alan Bennett (anti-monarchy and anti-capitalist playwright), in the heart of the story that took place in 1947 in a small town in England. By using the austerity program (food rationing) in England after World War II, it beautifully shows how the very class capitalism of England makes people do anything.

Many praised the film at the time, with an English critic writing in Variety magazine: “Malcolm Mowbray beautifully balances his drama with his black humor to point to stark systemic class antagonisms.”

This British director continued to work alternately as a director in television and cinema. In the cinema, he tried to continue making his black comedies. Like the movie Out Cold in 1989, which was also a critique of capitalist culture, but could not repeat the success of the movie “A Private Function” in any field.

Malcolm Mowbray retired from filmmaking after his last film, 2011’s Meeting Spencer, and spent the rest of his life teaching at Northing Leeds Film School.
