    Sep 22 2021
    Aric and Marisa travel across the pond to explore the films of the United Kingdom, specifically during the '60s and with a little detour into the '90s. They look at how the perspectives of these films are shaped by the social and economical circumstances of everyday people, and how these perspectives have much to illuminate about today's prevalent issues. Whether you call them Kitchen Sink, Angry Young Men, or simply British films, there is SO much to love about this corner of film history. The six films this episode highlights are a mix of heavy hitters and tender stories of identity: SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING (1960), a Karel Reisz picture studying the attitude of a man who plays by the rules during the week, then lets loose on the weekends, VICTIM (1961), the suspenseful story of a man blackmailed by his homosexuality and his fight to be himself against the law, THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER (1962), a character study about a talented young runner who questions discipline and the authority behind it, THIS SPORTING LIFE (1963), a story of a man who wins everything except his unrequited love, THE LEATHER BOYS (1964), a film about a newlywed couple in crisis when the husband develops feelings for a member of a rival biker gang, and LIFE IS SWEET (1990), a Mike Leigh film about a working class family enduring the mundanities of life while hanging onto their personal dreams.
