Film Masters: Ken Loach (Early and 60s)

Ken Loach is one of the greatest British directors that exists today. His first works, however, were not for film but for television.
Once he made his debut on the big screen, he remained very dedicated to television, combining both facets until the early 80s, doing great jobs for the small screen, especially docudramas.
Their works for television during the 60s they were as follows:
  • "Z Cars" (series, 1962)
  • "Diary of a Young Man" (1964)
  • "3 Clear Sundays" (1965)
  • "Up the Junction" (1965)
  • "The End of Arthur's Marriage" (1965)
  • "Coming Out Party" (1965)
  • "Cathy Come Home" (1966)
  • "In Two Minds" (1967)
  • "The Golden Vision" (1968)
  • "The Big Flame" (1969)

In 1967 he made his debut as a film director with the feature film "Poor Cow", a tremendous drama. Adaptation of the novel by Nell Dunn that they carry out between himself and the author of the book.

Kes

Two years later, and after the success of his debut, he shot "Kes", a film with which he achieved an even greater triumph than with his previous work. With this film, his first prizes begin to arrive, such as the Karlovy Vary Festival Crystal Globe, in recognition of the best film or the Writers Guild of Great Britain Award for the best British screenplay.

These first two Loach films were only a small sample of his potential, but in them you could already see what his cinema was going to be, both in style and in theme, a realistic, simple, hard and direct cinema.
