The Reckoning (Gold, 1970): Cinema Museum, 7.30pm
The Nickel film club introduction:
As part of its season of road movies, The Nickel presents the rarely seen British thriller The Reckoning (1970) on a glorious IB Tech 16mm print. Two years before Get Carter, The Reckoning sees a
successful London-based businessman (Nicol Williamson) hit the north to
his hometown of Liverpool in order to exact revenge on some teddy boys
who assaulted his father. If American road movies are about the infinite
expanse of the great frontier, The Reckoning depicts its antithesis – a starkly divided island where you can’t drive a day before you start coming back to yourself.
Here (and above) is The Nickel's Road Movies season trailer.
