The late 1970s, somewhere in the Mediterranean: Marcos Timoleon, a tycoon, is throwing a lavish, extravagant birthday party for Sofia on his exclusive private island. The party is a perfect excuse for various people in his life to approach him with their own agendas.

"Family is the most serious business."

Old man butt cheeks and a pretty view are all *The Birthday Party* has to offer as a film. Willem Dafoe does what he can, but is surprisingly forgettable here. Sofia’s party ends up being extravagant and fruitless, which is also the perfect definition of the film.
