We watched this movie last night...and simply LOVED IT! I particularly hate movies with "no ending"...but this movie is just beautiful...and made up for its seemingly no-meaning-ending.Somers Town (2008)
Tomo (Thomas Turgoose - This is England), just turned sixteen and released from social care, runs away to London from a lonely, difficult life in the Midlands. Marek (Piotr Jagiello), a Polish immigrant, lives with his father who drinks with his friends most evenings after working on a construction site. Marek is a keen photographer, quiet and sensitive. He is not comfortable in his father's world.
Both struggle to make sense of their new world and a chance meeting in Somers Town, London, leads the two to form an unexpected partnership.
In equal parts moving and hilarious, Somers Town is a lo-fi masterpiece from Shane Meadows, the director who brought us This is England.
