The $#*! Kids Say

For a film project I'm working on, I was tracking down British directors and was going through literally hundreds of names.  One who  I came across is a young woman, Amanda Boyle.  She hasn't done anything that Americans would know of -- and her career is still pretty much near the start in England, as well -- but she has several short films that are extremely well-done.  A bit off-beat, that often deal somewhat with alienation.

One of the things she's done in the U.K. was what we here would call a Public Service Announcement.  Since there wasn't a whole lot of footage of hers to go on, I figured that I'd check it out.  But also I was taken by the title -- The $#*! Kids Say.  It starts out very funny, but then takes a slow, subtle, fascinating and unexpected turn.

(Though in English, there are subtitles.  Whether that was done in the original film, since the kids are a bit difficult to understand, or added by whoever posted it on YouTube, I don't know.)

This is a gem.
