Art Is...

Influential, cult classic, UK buddy road movie about two friends, one white and one black, who bond over their desire to escape from boredom and unemployment in Thatcher's Britain.

This film (which is silent apart from a song from the Easter Uprising of 1916 that it illustrates) uses only techniques available at the time, thereby giving the impression of what a Republican propaganda movie would have looked like had they the access to film making resources. Shot in black and white it has a hand-tinted section at the end which was quite common during this period.
