Review of This Is England (2007) by Lauri L — 13 Nov 2008
This is just brilliant take on 1983's of England through the eyes of 12 year old boy - the social, political, mental landscape: nationalism, Thatcher, skinheads, ska, war of Falklands, the odd eyeglasses and hairstyles.
The film is also about the process of mindwash and totalitarism in social group. This all is also away inside the characters psyches and it is all very real and reachable. The soundtrack is spot on. So what happens is that something that I thought was impossible to capture was transformed to understandable form.
