Dirty Government

[kokkinoskhioni · 6/10 · 4 July 2002]

This is pretty much a piece of anti-Thatcher propaganda, commenting on the selling off of British Business interests to the USA, and the corruption of Government. Shot on a very low budget, making the most of the use of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet on the sound track. It's actually quite funny, culminating in a dance routine on the south bank between the spy and her collaborators. Twenty years down the line it's a good reminder of the sheer grimy pathetic seediness of old England and the dirty old Conservative Government of the 1980's. Well worth a look.
