This Is England

This film was showing on SBS the other night. I was channel surfing and didn't know what it was but was grabbed by the scruff of the neck right from the opening credits. I loved it partly for personal nostalgic reasons but it's also a compelling story beautifully shot. Rusting fences, green fields and graffiti on concrete, Doc Martens, polka-dot ra-ra skirts and black lipstick. 1983 in Yorkshire, the Falklands war, ska, punk, skinheads.
Go watch it ASAP.
