The 35mm cycle is continuing with Kes by Ken Loach, one of the most important films in British independent cinema.

Cinema Massimo – from 5 to 23 May 2015 – Screen Three

The rendez-vous in May with 35mm – the cycle conceived for highlighting the National Cinema Museum heritage on film – is continuing with the screening of Kes by Ken Loach.

Drawn from the novel A Kestrel for a Knave by Barry Hines, Kes is still considered today one of the most important and significant films in British independent cinema. The ideas and themes that emerge In Kes will be frequent in all of the director’s subsequent opus: the family breaking up, lack of communication, alcoholism, rage as a consequence of being unable to express oneself, a dearth in affections and intolerance regarding rules.
