Abstract
Ken Loach is a well-known British filmmaker and I chose to study him because he has made a lot of movies in his life which contribute to an understanding of the problems of the society in United Kingdom. Culturally speaking, the films of Ken Loach present a good reflection (even if rather pessimistic) of the British society and encourage us to think about different issues beyond our prejudices. Ken Loach was born in 1936 in Warwickshire. His father was a factory electrician and he has possibly influenced Ken Loach's work because the working world is a recurrent subject in his films. He studied law in Oxford for two years and was part of the comedy group ?the Oxford Revue'. In the 60's after starting as an actor in Repertory Theater, he became a filmmaker for television in the series ?Z cars'.
