Scum (1979) - Criticising Corrupt Authority:
This week's video essay examines one of the most infamous classics of British cinema, Alan Clarke's Scum, a cinematic revisit of his shelved BBC "Play For Today" episode of the same title. Unflinching in its depiction of violence and discrimination, Scum serves as a critical observation of a corrupt penal system, as well as a reflection of the vicious cycle of injustice. A brutal film which serves as a heavy influence on British prison dramas that followed in its footsteps, Scum is a difficult watch, but an important and relevant one.
