British Social Realism

British Social Realism shows real life. It shows the harships of normal people, often working or below working class, with all of the challenges they face in everyday situations, the style of a BSR movie is often minimalistic to add verisimilitude to the composition. The themes are often "grimy", and set in urban locations. British Social Realism shows Kitchen Sink Drama, and shows "unvarnished" pictures. The themes shown are real issues, such as abuse, gangs, drugs, bad homes, alcohol and is often based on issues that are relative to the time of the filming.
