Ron's rages are sincere and — according to his wife — healthily cathartic. But can these splenetic outbursts loosen the grip of capitalism at its most monstrous?
Under Milk Wood (15)
Directed by Kevin Allen
4/5
I REALLY enjoyed Kevin Allen’s funny and fascinating film of Dylan Thomas’s classic portrait of the lives and dreams of people in a small Welsh fishing village.
The BBC first broadcast Thomas’s inimitable radio play Under Milk Wood in 1954 and it triumphantly underlined the crucial creative quality of the medium in allowing listeners to create their own unique imagery, guided and inspired by words.
