I saw this film at BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) in London in 1997, and although it was rough around the edges, after watching it again I really liked it. I was pleasantly surprised with the lack of dialogue. Despite the bleak London locations and weather, this film digs deep without many words. It is mostly hand-held camera which gives it a documentary feel in the tradition of François Truffaut, but gives it life and it seems like they had a renegade spirit to them when they shot this. It captures a character/side of London rarely seen in mainstream cinema. Wish they would make more films in this style.
