The Ploughman's Lunch (1983)
Country: GB
Technical: col 107m
Director: Richard Eyre
Cast: Jonathan Pryce, Tim Curry, Rosemary Harris
Synopsis:
A journalist is tainted by the amorality surrounding him.
Review:
Political drama, having something to say about manipulation of the media in Thatcher's Britain. An unsympathetic lead is poor company through two hours. The title is a metaphor for media deception: the pub lunch which had found a new popularity at the time in fact bore (increasingly) little relation to what it represented.
