The Spirit of '45*
(GB 2012)
Reminiscences interspersed with archive footage of the rise of the welfare state and the nationalisation of industry in Britain after Labour's general election triumph in 1945.
Loach rams home most of his Socialist viewpoints with a sledgehammer, using selected interviewees without too many from any other perspective, and the film jumps forward to the Thatcherite 1980s whilst omitting the union strikes of the 70s, and various other elements that might harm his case, but in between is an evocative depiction of a time when Britain actually cared for all its people.
Producers: Rebecca O'Brien, Kate Ogborn, Lisa Marie Russo.
Director: Ken Loach.
Music: George Fenton.
Editing: Jonathan Morris.
