Cal (2013) Review by ollie150790 from Hammersmith
There will be many wondering what could happen next for the eponymoushero CAL. after his pretty roller coaster debut as lead character inSHANK - well he comes back.....and it's not all plain sailing.
This film could so easily be seen without any reference to the SHANK -it feels like a totally different style and approach by the creativesbehind it and it works.
The mind behind this story must have sleepless nights as the plotunfolds with one shock after another. With a mature eye the directordraws you in by opening with wide views of a port in England (withfishermen on the shore in the foreground -( it is a gorgeous shot) andthis sets the tone as our lead then is captured taking the train intotown and walking before eventually arriving at a house. He then takesyou into the world of the grit of downtrodden Brits stuck in a rut ofeconomic pain that is shocking and palpable but beautifully portrayedby all the characters. There is wonderful ellipsis in the narrativethat leaves the audience to fill the gaps because we know what the gapsare from having seen other films and from our own personal experiencesof life. This is not a patronising film but an observed nightmarepunctuated with some great humour from auntie Jane.
There are so many subtle devices - from the capturing of the occupymovement and demonstrations (and using it as a backdrop to the maincharacters struggle) to the repeated shots of money being countedculminating in the rabid riot footage inter cut with a very nastyultimatum for the lead characters. I should point out the film isn'tall dark there is a love story that emerges and blossoms.
I thought this film (seen in the cinema in London - it's a big screenmovie that's for sure) looked stunning in all it's bluehue.....delicately shot in places and a wonderfully capturedatmosphere.A well crafted and scripted narrative - performed with skilland not a wrong note from all the cast.
The songs in the film which I am guessing were written for it arepowerful and elegiac and wonderfully underpinned by a sparing scorethat brings out the harshness of the reality in scenes as well as theemotion.
I cannot recommend this film more highly - it is tough and thoughtprovoking but entertaining at the same time. Shane Meadows meets KenLoach.....
I've avoided spoiler alerts cos you've gotta see it.
