Punks and Hooligans: The Firm / Elephant / Made In Britain (2 Discs)

Review

 

The Firm: Gary Oldman (Sid And Nancy, JFK, Leon) gives a blistering performance as Bex Bissell, a middle-class family man who also leads a violent gang of soccer hooligans. Philip Davis (Quadrophenia, Vera Drake) co-stars in this scorching drama directed by Clarke that critics have called a modern-day Clockwork Orange.

Elephant: In the film that The Village Voice hails as "Clarke's masterpiece" and would become the direct inspiration for Gus Van Sant's award-winning movie of the same name, Clarke and producer Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) explore the political violence of Northern Ireland via the stark and brutal depiction of eighteen! separatist murders.

Made In Britain: Trevor is a teenage skinhead. Caught smashing the windows of a Pakistani owned shop, he is sent to an assessment centre by social worker Harry where it is discovered he is highly articulate and intelligent. But he escapes, steals cars and goes berserk, can Harry still save him?

Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs) made an unforgettable screen debut as the tattooed, contemptuous racist Trevor. Made In Britain depicts his relationship with Harry and the reasons behind his violence with documentary-style naturalism. Filmed on location in London, Made In Britain is one of the most memorable feature-length TV dramas of the 1980s.
