'This is England' - Film & TV Series


Recommended Posts

I watched it again last night. Great movie, I'd forgotten how good. I've been looking forward to this since I heard about it.

 

My mate has written and directed a short film (also commissioned by Channel 4) starring Woody (Joseph Gilgun) about a homeless pair from Hulme.

I'm not sure whether it'll be under the pseudonym "Charles Flamingo" or under his real name James Meadows (the obvious comparison is already there which is unfortunate).

I loved Dead Mans Shoes, 24/7 and a Room for Romeo Brass (once up on a time in a midlands is on film4 wednesday, well worth a watch), but I found this is England to be pretty average with far too many gaps in it.

 

This however looks like it will come together a lot more than the film which jumped a bit too much.

I struggle to say anything new here.

 

Dead Mans Shoes is a truely excellent film. If anyone needs convincing by this far down the thread though...

 

A Room for Romeo Brass is also brill.

 

 

This is England - meh. Wish I'd saved my money rather than buying it on DVD.

 

NB. Watched a short film directed by Paddy Considine (Dog Altogether). It was a bit poor to say the least.
