What if in ‘This Is England’ the counter-culture wasn’t punk, it was français.
Filmed in back-streets in central Liverpool, Clockwork Arts’ short was made specifically to be entered into FilmFour’s ‘Scene Stealers’ competition, and ended up making the top 30 shortlist.
Subverting the Northern Englishness of the original film, we decided all the characters should talk and act as over-the-top French stereotypes, whilst still sticking as close as possible to the script. Baguettes, boules and berets feature prominently.
