in an interview on the criterion release of this film, mike leigh says he was criticized at the time of release in 1983 by leftist for not making more activist socialist propaganda essentially, showing working class people overturning capitalism. what those critics failed to understand is that simply making a film about working class characters and their struggles, their inner lives, creating empathy for people that entertainment media tends to ignore, is a radical act.
