Summary of Made in Britain
Written by David Leland and directed by Alan Clarke, Made in Britain is a slice of horrible but not inaccurate life from 1982. It holds a terrific early performance from Tim Roth as a skinhead with a swastika caste-mark tattoo, who constantly bares shark-like teeth as he spits embittered, articulate defiance at caring social workers and truncheon-wielding policemen alike. Sixteen-year-old Trevor (Roth) is remanded to an assessment center before sentencing, but remains determined to disobey the rules imposed on him by any authority figures and spends the whole 73-minute play challenging the system to smack him back down, by vandalizing the Job Centre, using his case-file as a toilet, stealing cars, victimizing members of the "immigrant community" and shouting bile at people. The cycle that will lead him to an adult life in prison is explained to him with blackboard diagrams, but he believes he's better off keeping his hatred burning than toeing the line to end up as a no-hoper in a society that prizes obedience over conscience. It was originally televised as one of four Leland-filmed dramas about different aspects of the British education system, which made it seem less monomaniacal in its focus on an extreme case. There's no denying that it's an honest portrait of a monster calculated to terrify even the most concerned liberals which still manages to celebrate his self-destructive defiance. A film for television rather than a TV play, it has very strong language but the violence is all in Roth's face. --Kim NewmanAcademy Award(r) nominee Tim Roth (RESERVOIR DOGS PULP FICTION) made his unforgettable film debut as Trevor a ferocious teenage skinhead whose random acts of racism vandalism and violence send him on a snarling spiral through England's justice system. This is the unsparing portrait of youth fueled by rage and hate prowling an empire ruled by repression and despair. It remains a shattering cinematic experience that could only be MADE IN BRITAIN.This uncompromising classic directed by Alan Clarke (SCUM) from a searing screenplay by David Leland (MONA LISA WISH YOU WERE HERE) features gritty cinematography by two-time Oscar(r) winner Chris Menges (THE MISSION THE KILLING FIELDS) with music by anarchist icons The Exploited.DVD Features: Available Subtitles: English Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono) Audio Commentary #1 with Star Tim Roth Audio Commentary #2 with Writer David Leland and Producer Margaret Matheson Archive Interview with Star Tim Roth Poster & Still GallerySystem Requirements:Running Time 76 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 827058104494 Manufacturer No: BU1044
