So evocative. My partner Stephen died of an HIV/AIDS related illness the year this film was made, and I went to see this fil as a sort of homage. We spent many, many happy days in Liverpool. Thanks for posting, and RIP Stephen, God Bless. X

I saw it at the pictures when I was 15 when it first came out, one of the best British films of the 80s.

what a fantastic 80s film. i actually remember it being filmed in and around liverpool, especially kirby and the city centre. bloody brilliant ! ......lol...

I've been trying to get hold of the soundtrack because I have never forgotten the small hypnotic musical phrase in this music even though I only saw the film once.

I've been singing it all these years from memory as I was under its spell (almost had the right tune!). But it's fabulous to hear it properly again.

When I heard that phrase for the 1st time in over 20 years I got goosebumps - it's so beautiful!

The phrase gradually builds up and repeats twice from 2:33 - 2:57. Gorgeous music.

Absolute classic. I loved that Liverpool compared to the current regenerated identikit city.

Yes a graphic portrayal of 'life in a Northen town' in the early 1980's. Very, very true to life for a lot of folk, and a cracking film too boot.

Sorry it's not realistic of the Britain I lived in in the 80s - but I agree it's probably a true portrait of Liverpool .. as it was filmed there.
