Entering the 1990s, the trio (Linus Roach, Rupert Everett and Gina McKee, respectively) are still reeling from regrets but trying to undo the damage done 40 years earlier.

The film was warmly received by the audience, who gave it a standing ovation for three minutes, and the crowd rose to their feet as Granger and the cast took the stage (many, of course, cheered when Styles appeared).

Dressed in a dark green double-breasted suit and light green pants, Styles opened up about the friendships he’s made with his co-stars.

“The foundation of true friendship behind the character allows for a 4 month friendship that doesn’t require much acting,” he said. “And in the most intense scenes there was a sense of confidence and security.”

Speaking before the show, Granger reflected on the time when he was 14 years old when a boy at school called him “queer”.

“So I asked my dad what queer is and he said it’s a derogatory term for homosexual,” he said. I asked him what a homosexual is and he told me that a homosexual is a free spirit.

“To me, the reason the story is so devastating is that ultimately the whole story is about wasted time, and I think wasted time is the most devastating thing,” he said. “Because that’s the one thing we can’t control,” he continued. “It’s the one thing that can’t be taken away. And I think the one thing I think is important, no matter what kind of life you’ve lived, is when you think about the time you’ve spent with the people you love.”
