About Fireworks for Elspeth
Will they starve her? Shave her head? Force her to wear a hair shirt? Elspeth's friends and family react with horror, grief and even derision to her desire to become a nun. She experiences her parents' hurt, her fiancee's feeling of betrayal, her friends' incomprehension - and her own obstinate joy.
Directed by Alvin Rakoff, Fireworks for Elspeth leans on a strong ensemble — Fiona Shaw, Barbara Leigh-Hunt, Robert Addie — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1983.
