From local news to feature film, through home movies and TV documentaries, this collection showcases South Asian Britons in front of and behind the camera. The contribution of colonial troops is illuminated through the earliest newsreels, while hardhitting current affairs programmes highlight the struggles faced in the 1960s, 1970s and beyond. Public information films produced for South Asian audiences feature alongside Hindi-language films made in Britain and interviews with prominent Asian-British figures. A bold wave of British Asian filmmaking in the 1990s is represented through early works by the likes of Gurinder Chadha and Asif Kapadia.
DIRECTOR: Hope Dickson Leach CAST: Ellie KendrickDavid TroughtonJack HoldenThis debut feature film about a young vet (Ellie Kendrick, Game of Thrones) returning to the village of her childhood after the tragic death of her brother stirred critics and audiences alike at several festivals. Shot in the flat, bleak surroundings of Somerset, this story about neglected family ties in an unforgiving rural setting is easily one of the best movies in 2017.RATING: 88/100RELEASE DATE: June 1st, 2017Stream The Levelling via:. DIRECTOR: Andrew Haigh CAST: Tom CullenChris NewJonathan RaceWe already discussed this one earlier, but Weekend is simply too good to leave it out here. The set up is simple and brilliantly effective. Two gay guys meet each other and fall in love over the course of a weekend. Russell is an introvert guy, who still hasn’t completely come to terms with his sexuality while Glen is outgoing and slightly rebellious, but somehow the chemistry is enormous. The sad thing is however, Glen leaves for the United States after the weekend.
Weekend is achingly beautiful and provokes a feeling so strong you can almost taste it.RATING: 77/100RELEASE DATE: November 4th, 2011Stream Weekend via:. DIRECTOR: Stephen Frears CAST: Judi DenchSteve CooganSophie Kennedy ClarkPhilomena stole the hearts of many last year. At one point, it even seemed to have a serious chance at winning the Best Foreign Film oscar.
It didn’t, which is a good thing, considering the films it was competing with. Still, Philomena is a really enjoyable and moving film. Steve Coogan, who seems to become a better actor every year, is brilliant as a cocky politician turned journalist who’s determined to unravel a simple Irishwoman’s (even more brilliantly and atypically portrayed by Judi Dench) past.RATING: 76/100RELEASE DATE: November 27th, 2013Stream Philomena via:. DIRECTOR: Paddy Considine CAST: Peter MullanArchie LalJag SangheraAnother promising debut film marking a bright future for British cinema. Tyrannosaur can be placed in a long English tradition of social-realist drama, the films Ken Loach and his followers have patented. It tells the unlikely story of Joseph, a lower class widower with some serious anger issues and Hannah, a devote Christian who has her domestic problems of her own. Both wounded souls in their own respect, Joseph and Hannah find comfort in each others’ company.
Considine shows that these typical raw British lower class stories never wear out, providing that you tell them craftfully.RATING: 76/100RELEASE DATE: October 7th, 2011Stream Tyrannosaur via:. DIRECTOR: Rufus Norris CAST: Charlie BootyLily JamesTim RothAnd yet another debut. And again a book adaptation; family drama film Broken is loosely based on Harper Lee’s masterpiece To Kill a Mockingbird. Broken‘s tone is a lot darker, but it shares the book’s core. Skunk is an eleven year old girl who, like in so many coming of age stories, loses her innocence during a summer, after she’s confronted with a fair amount of injustice. Director Norris succeeds wonderfully in translating a classic Southern Gothic tale to a modern day story in England, but the films’ greatest asset is young Eloise Laurence, who portrays Skunk in such a nuanced way.RATING: 73/100RELEASE DATE: August 22nd, 2012Stream Broken via:.
DIRECTOR: Richard Ayoade CAST: Craig RobertsSally HawkinsPaddy ConsidineBefore directing his debut film Submarine, Richard Ayoade was a recognisable face in Britain already, albeit as an actor. He was part of the cast of popular cult comedy series The Mighty Boosh and The IT crowd, which made his directorial debut all the more anticipated. Submarine, an adaptation of the novel with the same name is an excellent, off beat coming of age dramedy about a young Welsh boy who’s destined to lose his virginity and to save his parents’ marriage. Arctic Monkey’s frontman Alex Turner was asked to write an original score for the film, which lifts the film to an even higher level.RATING: 73/100RELEASE DATE: March 18th, 2011Stream Submarine via:. DIRECTOR: Mike Leigh CAST: Jim BroadbentRuth SheenLesley ManvilleMike Leigh is certainly no stranger to directing honest films, inhabited by utterly real people. At the centre of Another Year is an elderly couple blessed with a large circle of friends. Friends with all sort of problems, who all, to a greater or lesser extent depend on them.
You don’t need to expect big plot twists here. Another Year follows a group of friends in the autumn of their lives during four seasons. Nice things happen, awful things happen. There aren’t that much directors, however, who are able to make that worth your while. Another impressive achievement by one of England’s most beloved directors.RATING: 73/100RELEASE DATE: February 4th, 2011Stream Another Year via:. DIRECTOR: Mark Romanek CAST: Keira KnightleyCarey MulliganAndrew Garfield‘Read the book first’, is what people always say when you’re about to watch an adaptation of a novel.
I’m not quite sure if that goes for British-Japanese novelist Kazuo Ishiguro’s works too, as Remains of the Day is a much better film than a book. Never Let Me Go, based on a Ishiguro novel too, is quite impressive, which makes me wonder how much I’ll like the book. It’s a dystopian romance story, set in a boarding school in an alternate time. It would be a waste to spoil the unexpected twist in the plot, but lets say it gives you a clear idea of the horrific ‘side effects’ of cloning.RATING: 72/100RELEASE DATE: October 15th, 2010Stream Never Let Me Go via:.

DIRECTOR: Steven Knight CAST: Tom HardyOlivia ColmanRuth WilsonLocke isn’t the first film that takes entirely place in a single space. Recently we’ve seen Buried (a coffin) and All is Lost (a yacht). In Locke, we follow Tom Hardy in a power house role as Ivan Locke, a construction foreman determined to come to terms with something he did in the recent past. The entire film takes place in a car and the only thing we see and hear is Locke making phone calls via his speakers which unravels his recent past and his current plan bit by bit to the viewer. A single location film is always tricky, as it either becomes a gimmick or just plain boring. Stephen Knights’ clever and economically written script however, makes this British film a standout in the subgenre.RATING: 71/100RELEASE DATE: April 11th, 2014Stream Locke via:.
DIRECTOR: Ben Wheatley CAST: Alice LoweKenneth HadleySteve OramEven though Wheatly is still a new kid on the block in English cinema, it feels he’s already an established name. Given the years he has been active as a film maker, his output has been quite high. Which is a good thing, because his dark yet fresh films are quite something.
We could easily have chosen any of his other features from the 2010’s, but picked Sightseers, as it embodies what Wheatley stands for the best. A darkly humourous, twisted film about a seemingly ordinary couple in a camper on a rampage through England. Please make sure to check his other films too!RATING: 65/100RELEASE DATE: May 10th, 2013Stream Sightseers via:. DIRECTOR: Scott Graham CAST: Chloe PirrieMichael SmileyJoseph MawleOut of nowhere came Scott Graham, a young and very promising Scottish director. Shell is a small, intimate coming of age story about a girl who lives with her lonely, surly father in a secluded area somewhere in the Scottish Highlands. They own a gas station and the passing drivers are about the only people who connect her to the world outside theirs.
Dialogues are sparse in this film, as father and daughter merely communicate without talking, fastknit but opressive as their relationship has grown.RATING: 64/100RELEASE DATE: March 15th, 2013. DIRECTOR: Jonathan Glazer CAST: Scarlett JohanssonJeremy McWilliamsLynsey Taylor MackayIn 2004, Jonathan Glazer directed Birth, a reincarnation drama with Nicole Kidman which was met with mixed results. For years it was silent around Glazer, up to a point where it wasn’t clear whether he would ever shoot a movie again. Thank God he did.
Under the Skin, which stars Scarlett Johansson in probably her most interesting role since Lost in Translation, is a small cinematic wonder. Johansson plays an alien seductress who preys on men in Scotland. Under the Skin is sexy, enigmatic and visually overwhelming. Please, make sure to watch this one on a big screen. Comparisons have been drawn to Stanley Kubricks’ work, which for once isn’t an overstatement. One of the more innovative and best British films of the last few years.RATING: 63/100RELEASE DATE: March 14th, 2014Stream Under the Skin via:.
