Richard E. Grant – 1989 – Killing Dad (or How to Love Your Mother) British Dark Comedy

A mama’s boy’s quest for paternal closure becomes a darkly hilarious cocktail of seduction, booze, and bungled intentions.
Devoted son Berg (Richard E. Grant) tracks down his long-lost father Nathy (Denholm Elliott) in a seaside town, only to find him shacked up with the boozy, seductive Judith (Julie Walters). When Judith enlists Berg in a scheme to "liberate" her from the old man, their bumbling plan spirals into a darkly comedic farce of misplaced affection and amateurish antics.
