"Mike Leigh's "Peterloo"."
One of the great films of all times for me, recently surpassed only by 'The Young Karl Marx' with its brilliant depictions of Manchester at time Engles was writing his 'Conditions of the Working Class in England' (based largely in Salford)
Not sure about Maxine Peake's (fairly high on my list of favourite actors) attempts at the vernacular, but apart from that....... grrrreat
Both films deal with the nuts and bolts of their subjects in some detail, which doesn't always make for easy watching, but well worth persevering with - I've long come to the conclusions that films such as these merit a second watching
Would there were more subjects treated as well
