Once Upon a Time in the Midlands
Using the operatic style associated with Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, this offbeat comedy stars Robert Carlyle as a small-time hood who watches ex-wife Shirley Henderson turn down a marriage proposal by live-in boyfriend Rhys Ifans on a tabloid TV show. Believing this is a chance to reconnect with his ex and see his 12-year-old daughter again, Carlyle leaves Glasgow for the English Midlands and a showdown with Ifans. Another wonderful small gem from writer/director Shane Meadows ("TwentyFourSeven", "A Room For Romeo Brass"). With Finn Atkins, Kathy Burke.
