Common People (2013)
A film for people watchers everywhere
Shot entirely on one South London Common,this film celebrates the diversity of "ordinary" people in an "ordinary" location.Stories expected and startling,brought to the screen by some beautifully crafted and often understated performances.You may never look at a park bench in quite the same way again....
When I booked my ticket to see the film at Clapham Picture House and realised it was 90 minutes long,I did wonder if there might be some boring bits.Not the case as the action is perfectly measured and moves around the Common.Judging from the reactions around me,it was great to recognise favourite spots too! Go while you can,I am planning a second visit.Stay if you can for the Q & A session for more insight on the making of this great film.
