Review of The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962) by Pierluigi P — 28 Mar 2009
Colin Smith is a rebel with a cause, the furious voice and spirit of the proletariat, the people who have to suffer for the privileged and get nothing in exchange but a terrible burden.
A battle against an opressive system, depicted in a fiery and emotive way. Magnificent characters and story, and phenomenal Tom Courtenay.
One of the crown jewels of British cinema.
