Ken Loach's LAND AND FREEDOM won two awards at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival and was also considered as the best European Film of 1995. I do have a tremendous respect for the works of Ken Loach, such directors who handle social, political or historical matters in their films, are necessary. In LAND AND FREEDOM, Ken Loach's intentions were to remind us that the dissensions between the different left-wing Spanish movements were the principal cause of General Franco's victory in 1939 and the fascist ...

The killing of Catholics by the so-called Republicans was ... Read More

And he does remind us of the fact that the Soviet Union ... Read More

I had heard about this film by director Ken Loach a few years before getting to see it, and I can't emphasize how impressive the film is - it not only has realistic war drama, but examines and expresses the complexities of one of the greatest problems in the 20th century - the struggle of working class people for some kind of system other than capitalism that was not tainted with the authoritarianism and anti-humanism of Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin's USSR or Mao's mainland China.
Regardless of ... Read More
