After one day picking up 'Dead Man's Shoes' and enjoying it very much, I was instantly interested in Shane Meadows other work. The release of Somers Town was no exception. I watched it in Nottingham which is where one of the main character's home is said to be in the film which added a certain local feel to it.
Anyway, shot in black and white this film is about two lads who eventually become good friends. The black and white film certainly suited the overall feel of the film and the location. The acting of the characters seemed very natural, and Thomas one again puts in a good performance. The film has various comedy elements to it, and one of the characters in particular who appears to be a market trader is one to watch out for! I couldn't help but notice the film has a naive child like feeling about it but that is hardly surprising considering the two main actors are 15.
This is an excellent film and is definitely worth seeing!
