Peter Mullan won Best Actor at Cannes for his 'raw, utterly believable performance' (Edward Guthmann, SF Chronicle) as a recovering ex-drunk. Joe lives on the edge. Love and lyalty give him hope, but society and his own nature often work against him. Loach vividly portrays Glasgow working-class life in a morality tale with no easy answers.
