Billy Elliot with integrity , 14 July 2008
  • Kes
  • Kes on DVD (1969)
    Starring: Colin Welland,  David Bradley,  Brian Glover
    Director: Ken Loach
    Certificate: Certificate: PG
    Kes is a cruel and unrelentingly bleak portrayal of adolescence in a 1960's Yorkshire mining town. It's like Billy Elliot only with integrity. This movie never lapses into mawkish working class cliches, it is life in the raw, cinema in the raw. The tragedy and humour of Kes lie in its portrayal of familiar but well formed characters from childhood; the pompous bullying games teacher, the bespectacled overweight boy shivering on the football field, the drunken, resentful older brother, and the hectoring, hopeless lush of a mother. The plot creates a parralel between the relationship of the boy with the bird and the teacher with the boy. Both relationships demonstrating that nurturing and attention can have a healing effect. If cruelty to children and animals upsets you then don't watch, if you need a satisfying happy ending don't watch. Everyone else, watch.   2 out of 2 people found this review helpful
