Lights, Camera, British

Congratulations to Fish Tank, for winning a BAFTA yesterday night for Outstanding British Film. Having reported on it last year, the film captured a state of mind of British life by filling a void of sincerity that is not always found in other generic 'council estate drama' films. With director, Andrea Arnold's particularly British acceptance speech, wrapping up with a "God Save The Queen", I look forward to seeing her future work and her British sensibility that only the British know how to do with gusto.
