I've lost the precise reason why I was interested in seing this - although I need to note that I have not now nor have I ever seen The English Patient but I think we're in the same ballpark. I really wanted to see This is England on a big screen, rather than on a dodgy DVD and given the bus ride to UoK it seemed simple to get there early to ensure a ticket which it turned out wasn't in short supply. We'll leave to one side the curse of the return ticket which is not transferable between two companies. I saw it in the general vicinity of

It's based on an Ian McEwan book which has been out for ages although I've not read this one, but even so, ( here be spoilers )
