Director: Ken Loach
Cast: David Bradley, Colin Welland, Brian Glover
Synopsis:
The Benjamin of a Barnsley family is disengaged at school and kicked about at home but finds meaning and purpose in a kestrel he learns how to train.
Review:
Loach here approached working class misery through the child-centred charm of Barry Hines 'A Kestrel for a Knave', and scored a success the whole family could watch. It is an astonishing central performance and there are moments which make the heart soar, just as there is laughter and tears.
