Cherps (2005)
A modern Alfie for a modern day London
For all the glitz and glamour of London this depiction of a downtrodden out of luck woman loving guy highlights the tough decisions that have to be made under strenuous living and social conditions. The film uses locations and a language of that often found in the minority areas of the capital and therefore realism plays a large part in getting its message across, however the director has moments of style over substance which also helps to create a sense of feeling on our part for and with the protagonist. Overall the pace of the film is a little slow to be a truly comfortable piece of cinema and is spread out to make it feature length, but is still an independent film that strikes a cord with anyone that has lived and experienced urban London Town.
