Nil by Mouth (1997)
Country: GB/FR
Technical: col 128m
Director: Gary Oldman
Cast: Ray Winstone, Kathy Burke, Charlie Creed-Miles, Jamie Foreman
Synopsis:
Life on a London sink estate for Ray and his extended family, including abused wife and junky brother-in-law.
Review:
Unflinching look at alcohol-fuelled domestic violence, drug abuse and the casual criminality that sustains both addictions. The effects on the rest of the family are at the heart of this portrait of abused-turned-abuser and yet it is their solidarity, together with the support of close friends, that yields a final glimmer of hope.
