Director Ken Loach's RIFF-RAFF earned the 1991 European Film Award in the Best Film category. It was also Robert Carlyle's first film and the only screenplay written by Bill Jesse. Jesse was a former construction worker who used to put on paper little anecdotes about his work or about his comrades. For more information about him, buy the zone 2 DVD of RIFF RAFF available at Amazon.fr which offers as bonus feature a very interesting interview with Ken Loach.

How many English language movies have you seen with English subtitles? Here's one. It's set in down-and-out working class London, mainly in a run-down building reminiscent of the one Dustin Hoffman inhabited in MIDNIGHT COWBOY.

In some ways I felt as though I'd died and gone to heaven the first time I saw Riff Raff, an out and out honest look at working class men of varied, and sometimes dubious, backgrounds connected through their work on a construction sight in London.
The cast of characters defines the term `mixed bag'. I couldn't help but think of a half dozen or so Archie Bunkers on the job site, each one with their own set of priorities, talking about the most important thing in the world, to no one but ... Read More

The "American" subtitles (necessary due to the thickness of the various working-class U.K. accents) provide a very interesting view into this culture; although the plot is a tad thin, the film stands on its own through sheer hilarity of British labor-class machinations.I hope the DVD version comes out soon.
