A rediscovered classic from director Ken Loach (The Wind That Shakes the Barley, Kes) and one of the inspirations for Wes Andersons Moonrise Kingdom, Black Jack is a dark, complex adventure film set in the 18th century and based on Leon Garfields novel for children. When French thief "Black Jack" kidnaps young Tolly, a journey begins that includes traveling fairs, murder, and the rescue of a young girl from a private insane asylum. While shot primarily in 16mm and on a modest budget on location in Yorkshire, Chris Menges photography, the enchanting performances by its young cast, and Loachs gentle, observational style all shine through.
