Kes (1970)

UK, 110 mins, cert PG choice of Keith Seacroft, (SFF treasurer)
Everyone's favourite Ken Loach movie. The years have not dulled the impact of this shattering and lyrical story of the raising and then crushing of a boy's spirit in a deprived Yorkshire pit village. It will break your heart and stir your anger.

Director: Ken Loach
Starring: David Bradley, Lynne Perry, Brian Glover
1969 BAFTA Film Award
1970 Crystal Globe, Karlovy Vary Film Festival
"gritty, sad, funny, and very moving" Howard Schumann, Cinescene.com
"Its message may be bleak but Loach never lets polemic or pessimism overwhelm a good story." Britmovie.co.uk
