The Monkey Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 This is England is a film made by Shane Meadows, released in 2007. It takes place in 1983 and follows the skinhead culture. It was follow by three miniseries that take place in 1986, 1988 and 1990, respectably. The movie itself was a great piece of the work, but it's in the miniseries that the drama reaches its creative heights. They're absolutely astonishing pieces of fiction, some of the best narrative and acting you'll ever see. Quick, humorous, realistic dialogue, intersected with pitch-black drama. One scene make you laugh out loud, the next you sit in utter horror and despair at what's taking place on the screen. Any fans on this board?

Fat Mac Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I've seen the movie, one of four Shane Meadows films I've seen. I thought it was very good. Haven't checked out any of the series though. But it's definitely on my to watch list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheRa Seastar Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I only got halfway through 90, then my stupid Sky deleted it. Waiting for it to be free on Amazon so I can pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
