The Lost Language of Cranes

When Philip Benjamin (Angus Macfadyen) informs his parents (Brian Cox and Eileen Atkins) that he’s gay, the news prompts his father to come out of the closet, too, throwing the family — and mom and dad’s once-stable marriage — into turmoil. Corey Parker, Rene Auberjonois and John Schlesinger also star in director Nigel Finch’s compelling made-for-TV drama based on David Leavitt’s acclaimed novel.
