WINNER
~ Looking For Eric ~ |
Ken
Loach returns to his absolute best with the
film that many, including us, are calling 'the
best Manchester film ever'. Filmed in the city
with a cast that includes Steve Evets,
John Henshaw, Gerard Kearns, Justin
Moorhouse, Mick Ferry, Smug Roberts
and, of course, Eric Cantona as himself. |
Shortlisted
at Cannes, the story follows Eric, a depressed
Mancunian postman whose life has gone off the
rails ever since his wife walked out on him.
Things get worse as his teenage son gets mixed
up with the local gangster. With the help from
his mates and an apparition of his idol, Eric
Cantona, he tries to rebuild his life, win his
wife back and sort out his son's troubles. This
is Mancunian comedy at its best mixed with Loach's
trademark dark story-telling. |
It's
absolutely wonderful stuff that is a must-see
for any proud Mancunian. You don't have to be
a United fan to enjoy it, let alone a football
fan... we watched it with die-hard Liverpool
and City fans, as well as girl who couldn't
careless. They all rated it (nearly) as highly
as the reds who've seen it. C'est fantastique! |
