This Is England
- 23 Apr 2007
Father figures, mentors, men and boys, these are relationships that crop up in all five of Shane Meadows' films, and most often they are central. In This Is England, twelve-year-old Shaun (a brilliant performance from newcomer Thomas Turgoose) is mourning his dad, killed in action in the Falklands. The year is 1983, and Thatcher is riding a wave of rekindled nationalism on the rump of that victory. Shaun is lonely, vulnerable, and a ripe target for bullies. At an age when his identity is up...

The best of times, because the Film Council played a significant role in getting Richard Ayoade’s first film Submarine off the ground. The coming of age comedy, which opens this week, has been met with rave reviews and was sold to The Weinstein Company for US distribution.
