What Brassed Off Is About
The brass band of a colliery awaiting a closure decision keeps rehearsing for the national competition. The film is not about music as consolation; it is about music solving nothing. While the rehearsals continue, houses are being sold, debts accumulate and people lie to each other. Pete Postlethwaite's bandmaster treats keeping the band alive as a point of honour, and his family pays for that stubbornness. It moves quickly between comedy and anger, and several scenes open almost cheerfully and end hard. Among films about what an industrial closure does to a town, it is one of the least manipulative.
