The event is over
Young Edward decides to leave his job in the City to join a humanitarian organisation in Africa. His mother, Patricia, and his sister, Cynthia, plan a family reunion before he leaves on Tresco, an idyllic island in the Scilly archipelago. But when the father decides not to join them, the emotions that each had previously suppressed come to the surface.
"What we see in Archipelago is an auteur consistency that's familiar in French directors, but rare among Britons, […] Hogg brings a new fine-tuning to Archipelago, particularly in visual terms: in Ed Rutherford's photography of moody, static, claustrophobic interiors and in the windblown, weirdly tropical Tresco landscapes. In a scarcely demonstrative way, Archipelago is a major achievement – an adult film about people who can't quite grow up"
