FEAST YOUR EYES: I, DANIEL BLAKE Director: KEN LOACH 100 mins, UK, 2016, Digital Book cinema tickets This film screened 26th October 2016. This month’s pairing of a main course and a film is Ken Loach’s I, Daniel Blake. The scenario in the film is pure Loach: carpenter Daniel Blake (Dave Johns) is convalescing from a mild heart attack, but finds himself in the paradoxical position of not being ill enough to claim benefits. He is the quintessential little man caught in the gears of a bureaucratic, Kafkaesque health system. Though not without humour, I, Daniel Blake simmers with quiet outrage for the petty injustices meted out to the most vulnerable members of society.
