Most ken loach films are like that, unless i have mixed up the director he did a good film about a man from Liverpool going to fight in the Spanish civil war, its a really interesting film if you watch it with the subtitles , without its horribly confusing when they discuss the benefits of communism.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Its a genuine Yorkshire tale that is, its hard enough to get all the words if English.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Not surprised you couldn't understand it
It was set and filmed in the then mining town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire.
There will be many a southern softy who can't understand the dialogue!

@imnotbruce anybody who likes Kes will probably enjoy 'The loneliness of the long distance runner.' Another classic film in that mould

Never seen it but I studied the book it's based on in school. It's called a Kestrel for a Knave. Hated it.

The kid who plays Billy Casper works as a manager in a call centre now...I'm never sure if that's amusing or depressing.

Is that the actual bird that the kid flew in the film or the dead one that he finds in the bin after his nasty brother does it in?
