I just couldn't get over the editing and cutting of this series. A rather conservative camerawork glued together from scene to scene, interrupted by badly choosen soundtrack, with the introduction of news-flashes in a serial-killer-documentary-style killed all my will to get through this to the end. All the emotions of the victims families got lost for me on the way as they appeared just as another part of the first-aid-kit in movie-editing. None of the characters mattered to me, couldn't feel any dynamics no matter how dramaticly fast the police-actors tried to speak to create some and got into their analysis.
I wish you the best of luck to get through over two an a half hours of this, I didn't have that.

It's a good thing if you can adapt with the characters in episode 1 of a series with 13 episodes, here it is delivered.
The ugly face of dictatorship is not only tranported through the white male midlle-aged characters but also the camera-work choose to differ between oppressor an oppressed, which got me hooked. The time.hooping doesn't affect the dramaturgie of the story, in fact it delivers.
As sad as the times have been, this series achieved to transport hope and a worthwhile resistance against a totalitarian regime plus a humanitarism in situations where manking showed it's evil face. Recommended!

I appreciate movies where I can sympathize with the characters. Foscadh is one of them.
The mix of decent camerawork with a well chosen underlaying soundcarpet helped me to get to know John, the main protagonist of the movie, and his beeing quiete well. There is a certain helplessness, his feelings of beeing lost or not fitting pared with naivety, and there is a pressure to take things in his hands while people around him seem to be too demanding, which created the basic for a good movie. It's layered in a simple yet touching story, filled with humanism, hope, attraction despair and loath.
If you are looking for a movie to get fast entertainement, this will not be your cup of tea. But if you dig movies by Loach, I guess you will have a decent watch.
