Review of The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962) by Michael Y — 17 Mar 2011
Rarely have I seen such an un-Hollywood film as this. Such a typically British film - b&w, grim, raining or snowing, cold, everyone's Northern, ugly and miserable, yet for all that, it has a genuine kind of heart, not so much a message or moral to the story as just a look that invokes empathy from the viewer.
It's not really the kind of film I would choose to watch and I can't really say why I liked this film, but I did.
