Riff-Raff movie scene

Robert Carlyle stars in Ken Loach's 1991 Riff-Raff.

Two gems from the great English realist auteur Ken Loach—the 1991 comedy Riff-Raff and the 1993 comedy-drama Raining Stones—make their Blu-ray debuts from Twilight Time.

Riff-Raff, Loach’s first comedy, concerns a gang of itinerant construction workers (including Trainspotting’s Robert Carlyle) laboring under unspeakable conditions on luxury homes for London’s wealthy. Raining Stones, a Jury Prize-winner at the Cannes Film Festival, is about an earnest man (Bruce Jones) driven to desperate measures in an effort to buy his daughter a First Communion dress.

Both films feature scores by Stewart Copeland, which are offered on an isolated music and effects track.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, the time to order your Blu-ray discs directly from distributor Screen Archives is NOW!
