Looking for Eric: And other stuff

Looking for Eric (MA 15+) 15, 17, 18 February 2010 (Its Done & Dusted)
WARNING: Strong coarse language … The ‘F’ word is used a lot in the film and occasionally in this review along with bloody and other impolite language.
Director: Ken Loach
Country: UK 2009 – but could be Launceston in lots of ways
Cast: Eric Cantona plus Steve Evets and bunch of other pommy actors

All the reviewers have got this one wrong, W-R-O-N-G! This movie is not about Eric with a ‘F’d up’ life, its about Eric Cantona, his philosophies and his reinvention of himself. Anyone who watches SBS would know that – so why not call it the way it is.

All this nauseating high filluttin arty stuff is no help at all. What we need is TRUTH in everything. In Launceston who gives a flying F about what a F’N POMMY POSTMAN does or how he lives his decomposing life whilst thinking about a footballer. The reviewers’ efforts are misplaced, misguided and mistaken.

What was so bloody funny was that this film was subliminally so much about the LFS-AGM. Really we hadn’t given the committee all the credit they should get for such subtle subversive strategies. Showing this film right now was a bloody brilliant tactic.

ART IS F'N ART and that’s that – and truth is that this movie is reportedly about the WRONG ERIC.
