What Meantime Is About
A family in the East End of London: the mother works, the father and the two sons live on the dole. Colin is quiet and closed in on himself, Mark uses his tongue like a blade, and both of them spend the day doing nothing because there is nowhere to go. Their aunt Barbara offers a small paid job, and the help does not look like help, it looks like charity. Mike Leigh films Thatcher-era unemployment not through events but through waiting. Tim Roth, Gary Oldman and Phil Daniels are all very young here, in a film made for Channel 4.
