Aro Recommended This is England '86 (TV Mini-Series)

 

UK 2010, 190 minutes
Dir. Tom Harper, Shane Meadows
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Television, Drama / Youth, Punk

Topics: Period 1980s, Rites-of-passage.

 

Aroview: The core cast of THIS IS ENGLAND return for this vivid small screen epilogue set three years later, where a maturing Shaun (Turgoose) must negotiate life outside of school during the fervor of the 1986 Football World Cup.

Transitioning from skinhead culture to the mod revival scene, the series (across four episodes) has similarly evolved with its now older collective of characters, many of whom have either splintered from the gang or are now getting on with life, albeit through Meadow's harsh microscope of Thatcher's England. A must for fans of the original film, if not anyone interested in grim, hard-hitting British nostalgia.
