The events and attitudes revived in Ken Loach's documentary-homage are so exotically distant that the "the spirit of '45" might as well mean the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745.

Often fascinating and impassioned, Loach's doc lapses into polemic towards the end, an understandable side-effect of his granite-strong convictions. Probably won't get it onto Margaret Thatcher's LoveFilm list though.

Det er et grumt og ubehageligt billede hr. Loach får tegnet af de mange svære årtier inden 2. verdenskrig, hvor arbejderklassen var trådt godt under fode af den ene procent: Ejerne af blandt andet miner og stålværker.

Frequently asked questions

What is The Spirit of '45 about? Toggle content

In "The Spirit of '45," filmmaker Ken Loach explores how the unity and sense of community that defined post-war Britain led to the creation of a more equal society, and how this vision was eventually dismantled. Through the use of archival footage and personal interviews, Loach tells the story of how the British people came together to build a better future, and how this spirit of solidarity and optimism has been lost over time. The film is a powerful reflection on the impact of politics and social change on the lives of everyday people, and a reminder of the importance of community and collective action in shaping our society.
