On a recent dog park walk, I found myself discussing the work of Ken Loach and Mike Leigh. I saw Leigh's new film, Hard Truths, on Thursday and it was as spectacular as anything he's ever done.
While walking and talking, I struggled to recall the name Nick Hedges, whose b&w work from '68 to '72 reminds me of Loach (in composition) and Leigh (in tone). Took me a few hours or googling to bring his name to mind.
More on Hedges' site. Also available in book form.
