註釋
Ken Loach is one of Britain's most distinguished, and respected, film-makers, whose career embraces both film and television. His landmark TV production of
Cathy Come Home
caused such an outcry over the plight of the homeless that the housing charity Shelter was established in response. Loach's film work - such as
Kes
- is a remarkable as his television work. He makes tough, uncompromising films about a beleaguered working class, but with a poetry (as in
Kes
) and a humanity soaked in humour (as in
Riff-Raff
and
Raining Stones
). His work has been feted on the Continent in particular, where
Riff-Raff
received the Felix Award (Europe's equivalent of the Academy Award);
Raining Stones
won the Jury Prize at Cannes' and
Land and Freedom
- his film about the Spanish Civil War - won the International Critics prize at Cannes. Over the course of his career he has created a cinema of social conscience that is without peer.
