Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

An English Travelling Players? Three peasant types trek across a forest...and through a polemically structured account of 400 years of British history. Not the 'standard' history of monarchs, battles, disasters and dates (although all of those are there), but an 'alternative' history of political and cultural fragments. What emerges is a militant analysis of the origins of the modern British working class, fashioned by Mulloy with exceptional acuity and a brilliant gift for synthesis.
