This Is England / UK / 2006
Just making sure my favourite film of the year really was as good as I remembered it. It was, and though a few challengers have arisen in the months since This Is England’s release (most notably Mister Lonely and I’m Not There), Shane Meadows’ film is still a strong contender. The story is simple and lovingly crafted, the characters sharp and familiar. The photography- particularly those amazing slo-mo sequences- is fantastic, and the music vibrant and wonderful. But the film’s biggest strength- as in all Meadows’ films- remains it’s performances, particularly Stephen Graham’s powerhouse turn as psycho Combo, and the welcome return of Meadows regulars Andrew Shim and Vicky McClure, natural, likeable screen actors who deserve more attention. The ending still feels slightly undercooked and perfunctory, but overall this is a warm, exhilarating evocation of England’s past, and a stark warning for the future.
