A film that pulls you down into the dirt

Reviewed by mark-rojinsky 7 / 10

A stark, bleak but poetic evocation of working-class poverty

Bill Douglas's extraordinary monochrome trilogy from the '70s. It seems like a Play for Today but with metaphysical undertones and Tarkovskian touches despite the very bleak domestic setting in a Scottish coal-mining town (Newcraighall) in the '40s; it records time incisively. 1972 was that most downbeat of hippy years and also had a strangely 'Caledonian-ish' tinge. Overall, one of the high-points of Scottish film and cinema.

Minimalist mode of a familiar British style
