Richard Eyre's film "The Plough
man's Lunch" blurs tho lino between
fact and fiction, journalism and imagi
nation, documentary and narrative film.
Movie Review
As part of the Foreign Film series,
this English release takes place during
Britain's attempt to hold on to one of
its last territorial possessions, the Falk
land Islands. Using the factual detail
as an axis, Eyre has spun a film about
the ambiguity inherent in journalistic
truth. The film constantly pushes emo
tion, passion and evil up against objec-

ugly truth
s
tivitv analysis, and accuracy.
"The Ploughman's Lunch" is the
story of a journalist of dubious charac
ter, James Penfield, who is vigorously
pursuing an upper-class woman named
Susan. Penfield, who has not exactly
made an honest go of his profession,
finds himself locked out of the society
circles in which Susan runs.
Gradually Penfield prostitutes him
self completely. He prostitutes his
credibility, his position, his body and,
Eyre is so bold, his soul.
For anyone who takes what he reads
in the papers or on TV as the God's
honest truth, "The Ploughman's Lunch"
will certainly be disturbing. There is no
sense of fantasy in the film. It would be
easy to see it as the ugly face of truth.
