Brassed Off
Director: Mark Herman

UK/USA, 1996, 108 mins.
With Pete Postlethwaite, Tara Fitzgerald & Ewan McGregor.

While the workers of Grimley Colliery struggle against the decision to close the pit, they have reached the semifinals of the Brass Band competition, and will play at the Albert Hall if they make the finals. Up turns Tara Fitzgerald, a suspiciously good flugelhorn player, who renews teen passions with young hornblower Ewan McGregor. Will the colliery survive? Can music possibly matter if it doesn't?
