This Is England
Thomas Turgoose, Stephen Graham, Jo Hartley, Andrew Shim, Vicky McClure, Joseph Gilgun, Rosamund Hanson, Andrew Ellis, Perry Benson, George Newton, Frank Harper, Jack O'Connell, Kriss Dosanjh, Kieran Hardcastle, Chanel Cresswell
DIRECTOR:Roland Rat, Margaret Thatcher; Rubik's Cubes, the Royal Wedding; aerobics, skinheads... It's 1983, and the schools are breaking up for summer. Shaun is 12 and a bit of a loner, growing up with his mum in a grim coastal town, his dad killed fighting in the Falklands War. On his way home from school where he's been tormented all day for wearing flares, he runs into a group of skinheads, who against expectations turn out to be friendly and take him under their wing. Soon Shaun discovers parties, girls and snappy dressing, and finds some role models in Woody, Milky and the rest of the gang. But when an older, overtly racist skinhead returns home from prison, the easy camaraderie of the group is broken, and Shaun is drawn into much more uncomfortable territory. Based largely on his own experience as a youngster, this is Shane Meadows' most mature and fully realised film. Handling the complexities of masculinity, violence and race with sensitivity and a lightness of touch, it's hard to imagine a film that would better capture the mood of the time, or that could have any greater an understanding of the allure of being part of a gang.

DIRECTOR:When buxom Susan gets killed, the only suspect is husband Rick. He soon admits cheating on her with various women from Internet fantasy chat rooms. It all started when buxom Sasha wanted to strip for him via web-cam. Alas, bra-less Sasha then found his address expecting the same service, while Rick's wife was shopping. The second woman was The Stranger, who wanted sex in a gym and later threatened in vain to expose Rick if they break up. The third woman was park worker Beth who wanted sex in the wild. The fourth woman had sex with Rick in a hotel's bridal sweet, letting her friend, no less than Susan's identical twin, Jenny, secretly peep from the closet. The fifth woman Cora was slightly less buxom than Sasha, but actually wanted Rick's wife home in another room. The sixth woman "Desiree" wanted him in a blindfold. The seventh and last woman Molly pretended delivering Rick pizza. Susan's identical twin, Jenny, eventually reveals she became "Desiree" to trick Rick into sex. Rick wants to turn her in, but she pulls her gun out. Luckily, the detective forgot his pen.

DIRECTOR:The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, its about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong. A forgotten culture of Anglo Saxon males fed up with being told they're not good enough and using thier fists as a drug they describe as being more potent than sex and drugs put together. Shot in documentery style with the energy and vibrancy of handheld, The Football Factory is frightingly real yet full of painful humour as the four characters extreme thoughts and actions unfold before us.
