A film for Sunday
KES is a good film for any day but especially a Sunday. This film comes from the same mould as Bill Naughton’s collection of short stories called ‘The Goalkeeper’s revenge’ and other stories. The settings for all these stories are hard English working class towns and cities, like Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle. These places may not be more than football teams to you now but they were (like my own hometown of Glasgow) the industrial heart of the whole United Kingdom. My own childhood was not like those you will find in KES or Bill Naughton’s short stories but I did grow up with these stories because we read them in school and watched dramas like these on the BBC.
