Experience Sir Michael Caine in his last leading role on the big screen! With his latest and at the same time last film IN FULL BLOSSOM, Sir Michael Caine shows us that you can still achieve great things at an older age. The two-time Oscar® winner looks back on a career spanning over 70 years, for which the theatrical release of IN FULL BLOSSOM is now the crowning finale.
In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) unexpectedly made headlines around the world. He left his nursing home on his own initiative to meet with other veterans on a beach in Normandy to commemorate their fallen comrades on the 70th anniversary of the Allied landings.
It was an adventure that captured the imagination of people around the world. Bernie embodies the headstrong spirit and drive of a generation that is disappearing. But that's not the whole story, of course. It is the inspiring narrative of a veteran who, toward the end of his life, must come to terms with his existing war trauma. And it's the story of his 60-year love affair with his wife, Rene (Glenda Jackson).
