Movie Reviews of Ploughman's Lunch
Movie Review: Just to counter the last review
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually makes plenty of sense--one of the sharpest cinematic critiques of Thatcherism at a time in which British film makers and artists were inspired by the multifold negative impact of her regime in power to produce many such compelling critiques. A compelling critique as well of the news media, of levels of social and cultural pretense, hypocrisy, exploitation, and venality, and of the fabrication of truth and honor. A film that requires intelligence and careful attention but well worth it and with points that are as relevant to the mass manufacturing, packaging, and abusive promotion and exploitation of war for political gain--as well as widespread complicity in this duplicity, especially on the part of the corporate news media--today as at the time it was made and released if not moreso.
Summary of Ploughman's Lunch
In this award winning film, James Penfield has made a career out of journalism and now bankrupt finds himself with a group of others in the middle of this politic ridden British homeland at the time the Falklands War obsession trying to make sense of it all.Art House & International DVD Video
