Life's A Bitch, And Then It Goes To Penalties! Starring Nick Bartlett, Clare Groganm Jane Peachey, Samantha Beckinsale, Patrick Micallef.
Penalty King is another earthy UK film gem in the tradition of Gregory's Girl, My Beautiful Laundrette, Letter to Brezhnev, Wish You Were Here and The Full Monty. This time we are treated to a slice of life as seen through the eyes of writer/director Chris Cook who lays before us the unfiltered world's of pub football and social services. Featuring the blind ambition of a Leeds United obsessed pub football regular who pines for the glory days of Bremner, Giles and Sniffer Clarke, and the search for redemption of a soft hearted "Rottenesque" romantic anti hero. Both of whom work in the local authority prosthetic limbs re-cycling department and are bossed around by Clare Grogan as a dominatrix style office manager.
There are no punches pulled, just muscles, pints and local sorts.
You will have heard of film comedies made on a shoe string, well meet the bare foot film makers!
Not since Danny Baker's sublime TV show "The Match" has pub football had such an evocative outing.
