Onze Kijk
After the acclaimed Mr Turner, British master Mike Leigh returns to his socially engaged cinema by revisiting a tragic episode in England’s democratic history. While Manchester’s industrial past is reconstructed with outstanding, epic skill, Peterloo vividly resonates with today’s political climate.
