This is humanistic filmmaking at its best, for it helps us to see a child whereas the prevailing society sees only "them." This film is what love looks like.

Watched around the same time as The 400 Blows, but Kes just resonates a bit more. I don't know whether that's because I recognise the deprivation or parochialism, but it's intentionally much more empathetic than Truffaut's film. They both capture childhood alienation like nothing else I've seen, but Doinel is distant and blunted, while Billy is single-minded and emotionally led. These traits set the tone for how the films play out, and they're both really affecting, but in different ways.

(Viewed on 05/02/11): British kitchen sink realism was like Italian neo-realism stripped of all aesthetic ambition, which makes sense considering the Marxist leanings of its chief practitioners. It's a no frills style that primarily appeals to rather simple minded utopians who think that all 'real art' must conform to a pre-fab social agenda. Loach is a dullard, but Kes is his best work, mostly thanks to a memorable performance by Bradley as a downtrodden boy from the wrong side of town.

27 Agost 2016 - M'ha fet seguir-la molt de prop, agafar-li simpatia. La música ha influit en aquesta aquesta sensació. No ha abusat de provocar llagrimeta. M'ha agradat que hi hagués escenes llargues a l'escola, em venia de gust seguir el noi en la seva vida.

Kes has its downs. It has its lulls. But when it soars, oh boy, does it soar. At its peak, Kes is the sublime tale of a young boy's spirit breaking free of shackles and chains.
The clink of the chains locking back into place is the crash that you need to hear in order to know that Kes is a masterpiece of cinematic storytelling, not a sappy fairytale.
