Ken Loach

loach is absolutely incapable of making an irrelevant work. however site-/historical-specific are the stories and characters, his films' themes of struggle, labour, class, & self-determination always manage to resonate beyond but w/out compromising their specificity. he possesses such great critical insight & also humour. his films are necessary.
