One Man’s Movie recommends Ken Loach’s The Angels’s Share, now on limited release in the USA.
“This dark comedy tells a story of self-determination and redemption in the face of nearly impossible odds. It won the Jury Prize at Cannes, and to no small degree it is a commentary on aimless lives that are blind to possible avenues of advance and enlightenment, in pointless conflict with those most like themselves, and oblivious to any shared values or heritage of national spirit. In this case, the spirit is represented literally in Scotch malt whisky.”
