27/10/12…..The Angels Share at Thame Cinema
THE Next film to be screened at Thame Cinema will be ‘The Angels Share’ on Saturday, October 27 – Ken Loach?s latest collaboration with screenwriter Paul Laverty. The film is described as “warm, funny and good-natured” and won this years Jury Prize at Cannes.
UK 2012, 101 minutes, 15 certificate, Directed by Ken Loach, Starring Gary Maitland Jasmin Riggins John Henshaw.
The Angel?s Share tells the story of a young father who narrowly avoids a prison sentence. He is determined to turn over a new leaf and when he and his friends from the same community payback group visit a whisky distillery, a route to a new life becomes apparent.
It?s a freewheeling social-realist caper ? unworldly and at times almost childlike. Of course it also draws upon the Ealing picture Whisky Galore: an apparently gentle comedy with a harder edge than at first appears. Loach finds a happy comic register here ? happier, than his Looking for Eric ? and it is an unfashionably uncynical and unironic kind of comedy. In many ways this is his most relaxed and successful screen offering for some time.
