The big issues addressed in an abstract animation ripe with optically manipulated hand-painted film. Employing the associative logic of dream it creates a dazzling reverie of colour and pattern.

Synopsis

Set in the same south-east London streets where he himself had grown up, and drawing on his own experience of a violent family home, Oldman’s debut as a writer-director captures a particular corner of London life – one marked by petty crime, drug-taking, domestic abuse and hair-trigger violence – with an unflinching authenticity rarely seen in British cinema. Oldman draws stunning performances from his cast, in particular from Ray Winstone as the rage-filled patriarch Ray, and Kathy Burke as his wife Val, who yearns for more from life than the cycle of abuse and low expectations. Shot with a visceral, up-close intimacy, the film has been remastered to 4K from the original camera negative, and its impact remains every bit as searing today. (London Film Festival)

Synopsis

The disjointed debris of our childhood state still lurking within our adult consciousness act as a painful, disruptive force.
