Local Hero (1983)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: col 111m
Director: Bill Forsyth
Cast: Burt Lancaster, Peter Riegert, Denis Lawson, Peter Capaldi, Fulton McKay

Synopsis:

An American oil tycoon despatches his emissary to negotiate the sale of a tiny unspoilt Scottish community. It looks as though all is lost - or made - for the locals (depending on their point of view), until his employer gets wind of the unequalled conditions for observing the night sky, that is.

Review:

Fresh and engaging whimsy, a tour de force considering the lack of dramatic incident, like a zen Buddhist version of an Ealing comedy.
