Film and TV highlights

    15 Sep 2023 , Lalkar

    A real controversy, a true subversion, or merely a storm in a teacup?

    2 Nov 2019 ,
  • Film and TV / Film: The Death of Stalin

    It’s bad history and bad art, but Armando Iannucci’s film has put the wind up bourgeois critics for quite other reasons than those.

    15 Jun 2018 , Proletarian
  • Film and TV / We Are Many: new film prettifies leaders of the anti-war movement

    We have the power to change the world, but are we allowing that power to be diverted?

    1 Jun 2015 , Proletarian
  • Working-class history / Downton Abbey, the Jolly George and Stop the War

    Please, if we ask you nicely, will you? Pretty please?

    1 Oct 2011 , Proletarian
  • Palestine / Channel 4’s The Promise breaks new ground for Palestine on British TV

    Drama breaks new ground on mainstream TV by portraying some of the brutality that characterises the state of Israel and shattering its claims to be a democracy.
