Not sure who recommended it to me, but IMDB says its about “[t]he effects of a nuclear holocaust on the working class city of Sheffield, England and the eventual long-term effects of nuclear war on civilization.” Didn’t have a lot of motivation to seek it out, but it has great ratings. Top review says “Very few films have the ability to suck the life out of a viewer and leave them feeling drained and shaken in quite the same way that this does.” Yeah, so I’m not sure if I will ever be in the mood for that to be honest.
There are many encodes floating around and even a full bluray copy (criterion collection) on ygg.re… but I’m curious, how come it’s at the top of your list?
A friend of mine for weekly movie night started this habit with his family where every time they watched a movie, the next week, they’d watch the movies advertised in the DVD previews, exponentially growing their movie list. They began with Kiki’s Delivery Service (I think) and ended (to my knowledge) with some random Japanese movie with English closed captions about three women and a girl who accidentally gets drunk and reveals when drunk that she is worried about one of the women moving, but they don’t and the movie ends with them walking along a beach (feel free to tell me the name).
Anyways, of the movies, there are several the library did not have because it runs on contributions.
This is probably a bit silly, but everything I’ve seen or heard Riz Ahmed in- he’s been great, except for Aladdin. I guess it was a problem with the script and/or direction but his Jafar was so boring 🥱
