I, Daniel Blake – 2016 Loach
- This social political drama won the Palme d’Or
- Reminded me of Kurosawa’s ikiru– a damnation of Japanese bureaucracy
- Ellipsis editing- lack of music—it’s in the vain of cinema’s realism or neo realism (or neo neo-realism)
- Loach is a solid filmmaker but he’s not the dardenne brothers- no handheld camera to create immediately and intimacy—not quite the formal rigor of the Belgium realist masters—nor their penchant for beautiful images
- A very rich, memorable title character
- Fits in loach’s political filmography but not nearly as good as kes
- In my archive but not in the top 10 of 2016
- Recommend
