The Long Good Friday Criterion 4K Review

[@Nelbertine1]

Good summary James. I think us Brits, particularly those of us old enough to remember the turn of the decade from the 70s to the 80s, connect with this perhaps more than the first time, casual viewer. It’s also relies heavily on contemporary British politics (though the central conceit from writer Barry Keefe- what happens when the ultimate capitalist meets an adversary that operates entirely on an ideological level - is as relevant today as it was in 1980) which means some of the subtext is subtle. I subscribed on the back of this.

Hello there. Glad you enjoyed the review. I do look forward to revisiting this title and picking up more of the nuances I missed the first time. Glad you found the channel and hope you continue enjoying the content!

I love, love, LOVE your channel. You, sir, are always helpful whenever I am interested in a release from the Criterion Collection. The gangster genre is among my favorite genres and I've only heard POSITIVE opinions concerning this film. Thank you kindly. - Your pal, Jeff, from Salt Lake City, Utah

great review James, of course you know what I thought of the film - I would also suggest The Honorary Consul, Ruby and The Fourth Protocol also by MacKenzie he was responsible for directing a lot of Plays for Today titles in the 70's for the BBC and a few are on the BFI Play for Today sets which has three volumes so far.

Thank you so much for your work. I haven't seen this one and I love those Criterion blind buys. I'm very excited to have this in that stack now. Keep it up! 👍

James, I’d recommend Who Framed Roger Rabbit with Bob Hoskins, if you never seen it. Great review!

[@20thand21stMovies]

Good recommendation, KB. Thanks! I need to check out Who Framed Roger Rabbit one of these days 😀.

Enjoyed this one, took me a long time to get around to it. But very entertaining. I’ll be sure to pick this up next flash sale or next July

[@20thand21stMovies]
