Additional InformationRebellious Billy Casper (David Bradley) finds that training a kestrel takes his mind off his troubled home life and the bullies at school. Set in the Northern English town of Barnsley, the film is a gritty slice of working-class life in the æ60s. Based on the Barry Hines novel A KESTREL FOR A KNAVE, KES was brought to the big screen by Palm dÆOr-winning director Ken Loach, who is best known for his early kitchen sink dramas. Fittingly, Brian Glover--who plays a games teacher--was born in Barnsley, bringing a touch of authenticity to proceedings. Upon its release, KES attracted criticism from wildlife conservationists who saw it as encouraging youngsters to take falcons from the wild with the intention of taming them, despite the filmÆs underlying message of respecting the birds.

Super Quality on one of the best British films
Purchased this movie after just seeing the 50th anniversary showing at a local cinema on DCP which was very poor quality lots of close ups were out of focus, So please that this Bluray is excellent quality for the age of the film and great to see extras too. Looking forward to the Barry Hines Kes statue in Barnsley Town Centre in the near future.
