Directed by Jack Clayton
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
When their mother dies, seven children bury her in the garden and try to carry on as if nothing happened. They have a curious ritual called "mother time", when Pamela Franklin makes decisions by communicating with the dead mother. The film spends quite some time in their little world, until deadbeat dad Dirk Bogarde arrives. He uses the children for their money and turns the house into a bachelor pad, in stark contrast to their previous life. Things come to an unexpected conclusion, and the film ends on an unresolved note. A bit long, but worth a look for fans of films off the beaten path.
