Synopsis
Somers Town (2008) is Shane Meadows' black-and-white comedy-drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Just 71 minutes, shot in the gritty patch of central London between King's Cross and Euston stations.
Tomo has bolted from Nottingham with no cash, no bed and nobody he knows. Marek lives nearby with his Polish father, who spends his days laying track for a new rail link, and fills his own hours wandering the streets with a camera. The two boys meet in a cafe and build a scrappy summer friendship — one secretly sleeping on the other's floor, both mooning over the same French waitress, neither with a clue what comes next.
Meadows, who made This Is England, keeps it small and warm: a film about those empty teenage days when summer stretches out forever. Thomas Turgoose plays the same feral, funny kid he does so well, and it lands. Stream Somers Town (2008) online on iFILM.
