Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
On the oldest Roman road in the capital, Filmmaker Marc Isaacs weaves together numerous poignant stories of loss and the search for belonging into a tapestry of the human experience. Keelta a young Irish woman leaves home to build a new life for herself on the road where Billy, the old Irish labourer is struggling to find a meaning to his life. Peggy, a 95 year old Jewish refugee from Vienna and Brigitte, a German born former air hostess, have both suffered bad husbands, whilst Iqbal, an unassuming Indian hotel concierge, awaits the arrival of his wife from Kashmir. A film that forces you to recognise the struggles and preoccupations of its characters as our own.
Leave your thoughts about The Road: A Story of Life and Death.
| Observer (UK)Philip French[A] moving, deeply sad documentary about immigrants living at the London end of the A5. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsAll human life? Yes, and heroically dealing with inhumanity wherever it is found. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerPowerful, thought-provoking and deeply moving documentary that creates a vivid portrait of London life and will make you pay more attention to the people you pass every day. |
| Time OutDave CalhounMore than a film about immigration, this is a film about London - a city where journeys begin as often as they end and where life's roads are far too unpredictable to be mapped. |
| HeyUGuysJamie NeishIt includes some harrowing, touching and eye-opening material, shot carefully by Isaac and boasting an entirely complimentary, if slightly maudlin soundtrack composed by Lance Hogan. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsMuch to admire here, but not Isaacs' finest hour. |
| User ReviewPaul DA nice snapshot of the various private lives of one main street running out of London. |
