The Old Oak
Uploaded by Crandell Movies
Director Ken Loach's latest film explores the tension between a struggling community and the arrival of Syrian immigrants.
2023 | NR | 113 min. Drama. The future is uncertain for The Old Oak, the last remaining pub in a village in Northeast England where people are leaving as the mines close. Houses are cheap and available, and the pub is soon considered an ideal location for Syrian refugees. Director Ken Loach, a master storyteller of ordinary people and their problems (I, Daniel Blake), uses his cinema verité style of documentary fiction to address this very modern dilemma. A New York Times Critics' Pick. "It’s a righteous oeuvre with marvelously strong roots." — Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
