MADE IN BRITAIN




A Film By Alan Clarke - Music By The Exploited
Academy Award nominee Tim Roth (RESERVOIR DOGS, PULP FICTION) made his unforgettable film debut as Trevor, a ferocious teenage skinhead whose random acts of racism, vandalism and violence send him on a snarling spiral through England's justice system. This is the unsparing portrait of youth fueled by rage and hate prowling an empire ruled by repression and despair. It remains a shattering cinematic experience that could only be MADE IN BRITAIN.

This uncompromising classic directed by Alan Clarke (SCUM) from a searing screenplay by David Leland (MONA LISA, WISH YOU WERE HERE) features gritty cinematography by two-time Oscar winner Chris Menges (THE MISSION, THE KILLING FIELDS) with music by anarchist icons The Exploited.

NOTES

"ASTONISHING... Tim Roth Gives An Absolutely Electrifying Performance!"
-The New York Press

"A RAZOR-SHARP TRAWL THROUGH THE UNDERBELLY OF THATCHER'S BRITAIN... Roth's Performance Makes It One Of The Most Powerful British Films Ever!"
-FilmFour.com


The roomie says - "Quite hard-boiled, predominantly entertaining, worth a view."

I endorse that minus the "predominantly". And I'd say I was not ready for the movie to be over when it ended. I wanted to know more.
We've all felt like Trevor. Upset by the BS all around us. He just wouldn't "cooperate". Tim Roth really nails it. Great movie.
Some people just don't make it ya know?
