BoSC is certainly ravishing in terms of its cinematography; it feels very real somehow. It starts in winter and reaches its climax (?!) in summer - one of the few films that grows through the seasons. The music score, recently issued on vinyl, has become an alt. folk classic. Vile as it is in other respects, I think it's a shame the ending is such a cop-out given what's gone before. I love a nice bleak ending - something like that of Scum which has to best / worst in the history of British cinema.
