Question 3: In this week’s lecture, scenes from Scott Rue’s ‘Four Images’, Brian Hill’s ‘Drinking for England’ and Chantal Akerman’s ‘D’Est’ were screened.  Choose one of these, and consider, in a single paragraph, what might have intrigued, interested, displeased or repelled you.

Brian Hill’s “Drinking for England” explores the importance of an attitudes towards consumption of alcohol in English society by following five subjects through interviews, recitals of poetry, and song.I was really interested in how Brian delivered such good pace and flow. The visuals to his song then montage this urban backdrop with its graffiti with scenes in the pub, a fish-eye lens thrusting the singer forward from his working-class fellow drinkers, just like a music video would. The performance does not hide a “real” self, but rather enables, enacts, the version of himself he seems most comfortable to own.. This is a documentary about drink, yet Tony is happy to be a drinker. both song and singer are so unexpected that I find really funny to watch, unlike my typical assumption for documentary I made before watching it.
