This Is England

[Sugarculted]

Anyone seen this film? Watched it last night on Film4, due to the fact one of my mates kept badgering on about it. It's a very hard hitting film, and I haven't came across one like this in some while. Sure, the story was a bit predictable...but nonetheless, the performances were astounding. It's definitely one of my new favourites.

 

[The Lizard]

I Netflixed it a couple months ago. Great film. Although it's obviously intended for UK audiences who remember life under Thatcher, this Yank enjoyed it a lot. It was interesting how the skinheads were depicted as real people and not just evil cartoon characters. You really get the feel of what it was like to be young and directionless in lower-class England in those days.
