This Is England (2006) dir. Shane Meadows
In love with this little boy, Thomas Turgoose.
A personal documentary about genealogy & immigration; strangers, relatives, and strange relatives; being young, stupid, and doing what you want; trying to bring logic to an emotional situation; losing love and not remarrying (once burned, twice shy); irresistible forces versus immovable objects; archiving the human race. It’s a film about being the last alive of eleven. It’s about not being in love with anything. It’s a film about miserable loneliness in New York city. It’s about becoming the product of what your hard-knock life has done to you and living out your days in utter monotony.
