    Realist portrayal of realist
    This film works - the performance of Chris Langham is perfect - he is an actor to be admired, and not ignored because of his private life. This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, combining the usability of Orwell's prose as spoken word and very thoughtful editing of visual material. A classic on YouTube.
