She watched the British satirical comedy Private Celebration, directed by Malcolm Mowbray, 1984. The case occurs immediately after the war, in the course of food cards (in England they were canceled only in the early 50s) and in a particular shortage of meat, especially pork, and fattening is limited. And here the local “elite” of a small town decided to hold a celebration in honor of the wedding of the future Queen Elizabeth, inviting the right people to it. For this purpose, they feed an unregistered pig from a local farmer. It is around this pig that the action takes place. The film, of course, shows the British in all their glory - with their prejudices, habits, petty decency, sentimentality and douche. Starring Maggie Smith and Michael Palin.
