RIFF-RAFF / RAINING STONES (BLU-RAY)

“In Riff-Raff and Raining Stones, [Loach] did his best work yet. These are unforced, naturalistic movies…well acted and with growing humor…In his dedication and seriousness, he is an exemplary figure.”
?David Thomson, The New Biographical Dictionary of Film

“In his first comedy, Riff-Raff, the maverick British director Ken Loach does something ticklish and remarkable…makes his characters funny, resilient, and bitterly alive.”
?Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

“Raining Stones is the gentlest and the funniest of Ken Loach’s films about working-class life in modern Britain…The film is good-hearted and the characters are easy to identify with…whose minds have not been deadened and who are naturally articulate and even poetic.”
?Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Two gems from the great English realist auteur, Ken Loach: Riff-Raff (1991), about a gang of itinerant construction workers laboring under unspeakable conditions on luxury homes for London’s wealthy; and Raining Stones (1993), a Jury Prize-winner at the Cannes Film Festival, about an earnest man driven to desperate measures in an effort to buy his daughter a First Communion dress. Both films feature scores by Stewart Copeland.
