FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Shane Meadows - A Room For Romeo Brass

Somewhere in a small town in Nottingham, England, two friends live side by side. They do what all friends do: Hang out, have boys' conversations, but basically not much. Romeo Brass (Andrew Shim) is the somewhat plump, always optimistic son of a black mother. His white father ran away. Romeo is one who somehow always muddles through, tricks a bit here and there, is good things. His friend Gavin Woolley (Ben Marshall), whom everyone calls Knocks, suffers and needs surgery. His father prefers the television program to his own family. Romeo and Knocks like each other, but will this friendship last? We're in the middle of Ken Loach Land of working class workers! Finally Morell (Paddy Considine), a strange guy who wants to date Romeo's sister, joins us. Ladine (Vicky McClure) is very beautiful and attractive. I think the reason she's finally dating Morell is pure boredom. Slowly we became familiar with the characters. We even understand why Romeo Knocks didn't visit after his operation. It is simply so that such things are quite normal between friends at this age. We also understand why Romeo wanted to move out of his home and Knocks was happy to take him in. Anyway; we know that both live in a neighborhood where everyone knows everything about everyone. With Morell, however, danger is coming. I wouldn't just call him a stalker or psycho (as he would appear in conventional movies). Morell is constantly changing and it amazes him himself what facets he is capable of. Although the plot is logically constructed, we are surprised how history suddenly turns into violence... Shane Meadows serves it in his very own balance of comedy and drama, so you don't even want to talk about Ken-Loach-Country anymore!
