The Lie At The Heart Of Dead Man's Shoes

Everyone calls Dead Man's Shoes a revenge film. They're wrong. Shane Meadows knew exactly what he was doing. In 2004, on a three week shoot in Derbyshire, he and Paddy Considine made what is, on the surface, a brutal British revenge thriller. But underneath the M65 jacket and the gas mask is something far more uncomfortable. Dead Man's Shoes is the only honest western ever made, the one that finally admits what John Ford and Sergio Leone were always really selling. A handsome man arriving in a poor town and deciding, alone, which of the poor deserve to die. And it is an AMAZING piece of cinema. #DeadMansShoes #ShaneMeadows #PaddyConsidine #BritishCinema #FilmEssay #VideoEssay #CultFilm #Moviedrome #FilmAnalysis #Western #ThisIsEngland #BritishFilm #TobyKebbell #GaryStretch #WarpFilms #FilmYouTube #CinemaHistory
