Under the Volcano follows the final day in the life of self-destructive British consul Geoffrey Firmin on the eve of World War II. Withering from alcoholism, Firmin stumbles through a small Mexican village amidst the Day of the Dead fiesta, attempting to reconnect with his estranged wife but only further alienating himself. (official distributor synopsis)

Uh, well… Johnny was really in his element in that Mexican heat. No denying that. But between you and me, it didn’t have to be so… siesta-esque, you know? It’s not very entertaining, following two days in the life of a consul who just drinks all the time and doesn’t do much, you get me? No way. But that Finney guy is alright. But just so believable that I’m actually convinced that he wasn’t acting at all. You know how it is. One evening you’re downing a bottle with your director, and the next you should’ve already been on set, letting Jacqueline grope you… Acting hungover is easier like this, right? And now, if you’ll excuse me… I’ve got a nice fresh tequila waiting just for me. Glurp!
