Kes. Kestrel the knave of the birds. Ken Loach film

Kes

Ken Loach's social-realist tragedy from 1969 looks more luminous, more impassioned than ever, a rich film of flesh and blood with a bleaker worldview. An unpatronisable masterpiece.

Kes Chronicled  the cruelties of capitalism, still championing the resourcefulness and bravery of those poor people who refuse to buckle down and know their place in society.

Krzysztof Kieslowski named it as one of his favorite films.

A film that entertains us as much as the brilliant book itself.
