Local Hero / UK / 1983

Another cautionary tale for working filmmakers- there seem to be a lot of them in British cinema. Bill Forsyth has entirely given up directing now, following the disappointing Gregory’s Two Girls and the frankly disastrous Being Human. But his early films still possess a singular vision, a genuine but unsentimental warmth, and a wonderfully sharp sense of humour. A shame that this one is now largely remembered for it’s cloying Mark Knopfler score.
