TwentyFourSeven Blu-ray (BFI/Region B)

In a 1990s Midlands town, youth from local housing estates are struggling to find purpose. Recently returned to his town, Alan Darcy (Bob Hoskins) interrupts their lives by reviving the local boxing club of his youth. 

 Directed by cult favorite Shane Meadows (This is England), TwentyFourSeven charts the story of working-class youth finding friendship, self-respect and meaning in post-industrial Midlands. Shot in black and white and scored with classical music, this alternatingly heartwarming and confronting story is threaded through with a sense of undeniable hope.
