Director Karel Reisz’ experience in documentaries enables him to bring a sharp tang and authenticity to the film. The locations and the interiors have caught the full atmosphere of a Midland industrial town. Direced with integritty and insight.
A remarkably graphic picture that Karel Reisz has directed and photographed in an impressively sharp, explicit and often intimate style.
