Movie I Daniel Blake

Yes...that is very early Loach. Apparently he made a number of teleplays for The Wednesday Play on BBC. You can watch Cathy Come Home on Youtube...

Many of his films deal with difficult social problems in England and Scotland...but he has made other films--historical (The Wind That Shakes the Barley), political (Hidden Agenda) and lighter (The Angel's Share). He and Mike Leigh are two of my favorite directors.

There is a television documentary about Loach's career that I need to finish watching....Versus: The Life and TImes of Ken Loach.

I did watch Cathy Come Home last night....it is very hard hitting and still (unfortunately) relevant today.
