Réalisateurs : Alan Clarke
Acteurs : Gary Oldman, David Bowie, Phil Davis, Jane Horrocks, Sean Chapman
Synopsis :
Although probably best remembered for the controversial and groundbreaking dramas Scum, Made in Britain and The Firm,, the breath of Alan Clarke’s radical, political, innovative, inspirational work, along with his influence on generations of filmmakers, such as Gus Van Sant, Paul Greengrass, Andrea Arnold, Harmony Korine, Clio Barnard and Shane Meadows, should see him rightly regarded as one of Britain’s greatest ever filmmaking talents.
This long-overdue collection finally brings together the long-unavailable productions which Alan Clarke directed for the BBC between 1978 and 1989. Amongst the dramas included in this collection are such neglected classics Contact, Christine and Road. All of the titles have been restored, and all filmed productions have been remastered to High Definition. In addition to the productions themselves, the collection contains an extensive array of extra features, including parts 1-7 of a new 12-part documentary, audio commentaries including newly-recorded tracks with actors Sean Chapman and Gary Oldman David Leland's 1991 introductions, archival BBC TV programmes, an interview with Clarke, and the first ever presentation of Clarke's alternative cut of The Firm, assembled from his personal workprint, which was discovered in 2015.
