Peter Mullan wrote and directed this Glasgow based, black-comedy. On the eve of their mother's funeral, three sons and a daughter gather in a pub. The eldest, Thomas (Gary Lewis), is singing a tribute to her when local youth Duncan (Malcolm Shields) starts laughing. Thomas' brother Michael (Douglas Henshall) attacks the boy and is stabbed in the subsequent melée. Vowing revenge, John (Stephen McCole), the third brother, goes in search of a gun. The events set in motion by the stabbing escalate as the family tries to cope with their anger and impotence in the face of death.

Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play. The directorial debut from renowned Scottish actor Peter Mullan (The Magdalene Sisters, Neds), Orphans tells the story of four siblings, who gather for their mother's funeral in Glasgow and face individual torments over a single night. This grittily realistic and deeply moving black comedy/drama brings together the finest of Scottish talent and wowed audiences all over the world on its original release.This Blu-ray release features a brand new HD restoration of the film, together with a selection of early Peter Mullan short films: Fridge (1995), Close (1993) and Good Day for the Bad Guys (1995).
