Ken Loach Collection (Blu-Ray)
Ken Loach is arguably Britain’s most lauded director of the last 30 years. This collection presents three films emblematic of the acclaimed filmmaker’s talent for engaging with social injustice and contemporary politics in stories by turn funny, heart-breaking and harrowing.
In Riff Raff Glaswegian jailbird Stevie (Robert Carlyle) heads to London to find work but discovers a world of corruption and degradation.
Inner-city poverty is brought to the fore in Raining Stones, as unemployed Bob’s (Bruce Jones) desperate attempts to afford a communion dress for his daughter results in a succession of disasters.
Inspired by real events, Ladybird Ladybird is an emotional and harrowing story of a woman’s fight to keep her children and relationship intact in the face of bureaucratic interference.
