Wonderful film. Better with age. So authentic. I assume. Captures a time and place and even people that has gone, I guess. Some stuff is universal. The banter, the struggle, the romance of being in a band.
Love the different types. Everyone has their moment in the sun. The two buskers. The three girls, all foul mouthed - I love how one just wants to sing country and western. The guy who wants to play jazz. The shy doctor. The psycho dummer. The awful singer. The hottest girl in class who'll just get married. The old guy who roots the women but who gets the poetry of failure.
The swearing, the violence, the banter, the grime. It's wonderfully done. Some of the acting is raw but everyone is well cast. One of Alan Parker's best films.
