 "The End of the F***ing World"

A fascination, touching film series picturing teenage lives, living in our brutally lonely world, dealing with devastation, loneliness, emotional deprivation and meaninglessness of life in the time of a new great economic depression. The film has a touch of Bonnie and Clyde, Vagabond directed by Agnès Varda and some other films...

" Like the first series, this inhabits a highly stylised world that is not fixed in any time or place. It feels a little American, a little English, a bit 70s, a bit 90s. The cars and buildings are both glamorous and gloomy, much like the show itself."
