Winner of the Palme d'Or 2016, the highest prize at the
Cannes Film Festival, 'I, Daniel Blake' is the latest social realism film from
the multi award-winning British director, Ken Loach. It is infused with
quiet, but righteous anger about the failings of the society Loach lives in and
which he repeatedly rails against so effectively. It concerns an unlikely
but tender friendship which develops between a single mother of two children
and a middle-aged, unemployed carpenter, both of whom are feeling the effects
of the shrinking welfare system they are dependent upon. This rare, political
drama will touch your soul and perhaps go some way towards explaining Brexit
and why certain members of society feel undeservedly disaffected.
Unforgettable!
