KES (U)
UK 1969
Director: Ken Loach
1 hour 53 minutes
Asked to select an all time favourite film, poet Simon Armitage
picked KES, the definitive picture of northern youth as written
by Barry Hines and directed by Ken Loach.
"Rather than a tale of a boy
and his pet, the film is a lucid and moving examination
of the narrow options open to people without money, family
stability and support, or education. Terrific performances,
illuminated by Chris Menges' naturalistic but often evocative
photography." - Geoff Brown, Time Out.
