1960s British film-making showed much of its potential in this now classic
movie chronicling the boyhood experiences of Billy (David Bradley), whose
expectations lead no further than following his father into the pits when he
reaches manhood. Everything changes when he finds Kes, an injured Kestrel, whom
he nurses and cherishes back to health. Their relationship becomes symbolic of a
doomed attempt to escape the drudgery of the industrial North. Kes is a
beautiful, moving and compassionate film, realistic and often funny. Written and
directed by Ken Loach, that most politically committed of British film-makers, Kes
is one of the most impassioned works of this gifted director.
