The British Film Institute has provided us with an official domestic trailer for the recent 4K restoration of Gary Oldman's film Nil By Mouth (1997), starring Ray Winstone, Kathy Burke, Charlie Creed-Miles, Jamie Foreman, and Edna Doré. The 4K restoration will be released on Blu-ray on December 5.
Official description: Gary Oldman revealed himself as a filmmaker of uncompromising talent with Nil by Mouth, his debut and so far only directorial feature.
Set on a council estate in New Cross, south east London (the area where Oldman himself grew up), a dysfunctional family encounters domestic violence, drunkenness, drug addiction and petty crime. Featuring career-best performances from Kathy Burke (winner of Best Actress at Cannes), Ray Winstone and Charlie Creed-Miles, all superbly supported by Laila Morse and Jamie Foreman, Nil by Mouth was awarded Best British Film and Best Original Screenplay at the 1997 Bafta awards.
This intensely powerful and emotional landmark of British cinema has been remastered in 4K for its 25th anniversary by the BFI National Archive, and returns to cinemas from November 4, before a Blu-ray release on December 5, 2022.
