Synopsis:
Dennis Potter's acclaimed television play - though the most straightforward and realistic of his popular works - is both a hilarious and incredibly moving story. Through the simple act of using adults in the roles, Potter was able to emphasize the darker aspects of children's innocence and imagination, creating an altogether more complex and ambivalent picture of that "land of lost content". On an idyllic summer afternoon in the summer of 1943, a group of children play in the West Country hills, fields, and forests.
With no adults around, they indulge in spontaneous games and horseplay - sometimes echoing the distant war, at other times revealing their own insecurities and petty vindictiveness. But as they tease, fantasise and fight the day away, their innocence is about to be destroyed forever...

Shocking and honest - Dennis Potter: Blue Remembered Hills review by JE

Spoiler Alert
03/03/2021

Dennis Potter has an ability to close a subject. Our parents were children during WWII and this expresses their experience and is more direct and horrifying than any conventional war movie could ever be. The final word on the home front.
