Something amazing from Great Britain, by Alan Clarke, a filmmaker I admire. Made in Britain (1982), a fast paced portrait of Britain as shown to us through the eyes and voice of a young man named Trevor (Tim Roth on his first role). Trevor is a skinhead, a racist pig who expresses himself through brutality and prejudice, and his outlook on life, on Britain and himself is quite hard to watch, but also an amazing act of portraiture by Clarke, working on a script by David Leland.
