meantime part 2

Colin (Tim Roth, making his screen debut) and his brother Mark (Phil Daniels, who starred in Quadrophenia) are down and out. They live in a squalid flat with their unemployed father, Frank (Jeff Robert), and their put-upon mother, Mavis (Pam Ferris). They're on the dole, and Mark is constantly scrounging for cash and cadging drinks from his friends, among them Coxy (Gary Oldman in his screen debut), a skinhead.

Both Tim and Gary are two talented and brilliant actors!!!

It's interesting to see them acting the opposite character in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

Gary Oldman is great, he's been good since the start.

I cannot get enough of Gary Oldman's character in this film. He's brilliant.

Take 'Only Fools and Horses', 'Eastenders' and 'The Royle Family', put them together, and you've got this!

Such a good film...it's heartbreaking to see the pressure put on the family and how they are struggling to find work....

Perhaps if they spoke English they might get work. I think I hate Mike Leigh.

Oh my, this movie looks brilliant so far. I just watched High Hopes and loved it but this one looks even more promising. Thanks for posting.

"we're not talking about your jobs, we're talking about our jobs"

Mike Leigh is a national treasure.
