SATURDAY 27th April at 7.30pm
Local Hero is a 1983 Scottish comedy-drama film written and directed by Bill Forsyth and produced by David Puttnam. Bill Forsyth’s tribute to rural Scotland’s irresistible charm is also the ultimate parable of going native. Texan billionaire Felix Happer (Burt Lancaster) despatches hot-shot executive "Mac" MacIntyre (Peter Riegert) to buy up a Scottish fishing village. To his surprise, Mac finds the villagers receptive, but the plan is scuppered by the intransigence of a solitary fisherman (Fulton Mackay) who refuses to budge from his beach-side shack. As Mac becomes ever more embedded into village life, Happer decides to make a personal intervention.
Forsyth’s unashamedly romantic evocation of Scotland is heightened by Mark Knopfler’s famous guitar score; the result is one of the most fondly admired British films of the 1980s. For his work on the film, Forsyth won the 1984 BAFTA Award for Best Direction.
WHY SEE THIS FILM? A classic from the 80s that should evoke memories.
“Genuine fairy tales are rare; so is film-making that is thoroughly original in an unobtrusive way. Bill Forsyth's quirky disarming Local Hero is both.” New York Times 1983
“Local Hero triumphantly mixes all Forsyth’s wit and warmth in a broader directorial palette with excellence in every ancillary department, resulting in one of the biggest hits of the Eighties and a cinematic experience that’s just as rewarding 30 years on.” Eye for Film 2013
