Review of Kes (1970) by Bob S — 20 Nov 2007
Whoops,...I had never heard of this British gem.
Well directed drama feels almost entirely undirected. Social-realist look at young boy growing up in a Northern mining town. I thought the domestic scenes a bit cliche, but the school scenes were great and the football scene was hilariously on the mark.
Billy Casper looks just like a young Mark E. Smith of the Fall ... no?
