4 7: Twenty Four Seven (1997)
Directed by Shane Meadows
Arguably the best film of the year.
For my money this is the best film of the year. Best in that it didn't
cost a fortune but packs as much of an emotional wallop as any
blockbuster with 200 times the budget. Bob Hoskins plays Darcy, the
burnt out soccer coach whose past history is told in flashback through
his diary. It tells of how he trained up a team of no-hopers into
becoming boxers with something to live for. Shot in luminous black
and white, the feature debut of Shane Meadows is a remarkably
sensitive, blisteringly funny portrait of hopelessness in Nottingham.
The city has always had its problems but is also one of the most
vibrant places on earth and Meadows captures the balance perfectly.
The sulphurous black and white photography adds much class to the
production and the team of largely unknown actors handle things
admirably.
The movie also features one of the most realistic fight scenes ever
committed to celluloid when Hoskins and Coronation Street's Bruce
Jones (Les Battersby) lay into one another. Both actors walked away
with broken bones and this is jut one element of why 24/7 is a cut
above the average movie. It's life captured on film with few romantic
films. But the message is as powerful as one of Hoskins' punches in
the ribs. Meadows will inevitably get more money for his next picture
and will no doubt be sucked into the Hollywood mainstream which
will probably be the death of him. If that happens, let's hope he
doesn't lose sight of the genius which he embedded into every frame
of 24/7.
