Ken Loach - Kes (1970)

Loach transformed Barry Hines's gritty novel A Kestrel for a Knave into a moving, searingly brutal and truthful film.

Billy Casper (Bradley) is an awkward teenager, stuck in a drab Yorkshire mining town. Home life is miserable and school almost as bad. A glimmer of hope is offered when Billy finds a baby kestrel, which soon becomes the focus of his life. The relationship is all-consuming for Billy and within it he finds a vocation, something about which he can at last be passionate and articulate.

At the centre of Loach's film is a remarkable, utterly unaffected performance from Bradley, who was at the time of filming himself a Barnsley schoolboy with no acting experience. He projects a sense of brutalized sensitivity that is given maring expression in his painfully tender nurturing of the kestrel.

Loach's cinematic style is already fully formed here, with the film's naturalistic, semi-improvisatory feel, a profoundly humanist attitude, and a pervading sense of doom leavened by flashes of wit, principally the wonderful football sequence in which PE teacher Glover fulfils his Bobby Charlton fantasy.
