Film Masters: Ken Loach (70s)

Ken Loach

Ken Loach in the 70's he continued combining his work in film and television. If in the 60s television dominated his career, in the 70s it would still be so, although to a lesser extent.

The problem was not directing too much on television, but his film career had not yet taken off, and I don't quite do it until I'm 90.

Loach's television work in the '70s

  • "The Rank and the File" (1971)
  • "After a Lifetime" (1971)
  • "To Misfortune" (1973)
  • "Days of Hope" (mini-series, 1975)
  • "The Price of Coal" (1977)

In 1971 he rolled "Family Life" hard drama about a girl whose parents want to force an abortion, such a decision aggravates her mental problems to the point that she ends up being confined in a mental institution.

Ken Loach has been considered the heir to British social realism since its inception by tapes such as "Family Life" or his previous 60's or his works for television.

Family Life

Also in 1971 the film «The Save the Children Fund Film », 50-minute documentary about the Save the Children institution that began filming in 1969 and is critical of the situation of children in central Africa.

In 1979 Ken Loach made "Black Jack" a film set in the XNUMXth century, something very unusual for him, since usually tells their stories nowadays.
