As the storm lashes itself against my windows Even the Rain suddenly seems an appropriate choice for Sunday's offering. But don't let that put you off, Even the Rain promises to be more climatic than climactic and it should take our minds off what's going on outside.
It will strike chords with the KFC audience given the involvement of Paul Laverty, Ken Loach's scriptwriter. The View London review said "Laverty's thought provoking script is excellent, cleverly drawing three-way parallels between Columbus' exploitation of the Native Americans, Bolivia's shameful (and real-life) privatisation of its own water supply (even forbidding locals to collect their own rainwater) and the film crew's own exploitation of Bolivia's workers in the name of cheaper location costs and budgetary constraints." and concluded "Impressively directed and superbly written, Even the Rain is an emotionally powerful drama with a thought-provoking script and terrific performances from its two leads"
