In this episode of VICE Talks Film, we caught up with British director Shane Meadows, creator of such movies as A Room for Romeo Brass, Dead Man’s Shoes, the iconic film This Is England, and the subsequent TV series of the same name.
Shane is now back with his third televised series, This England ’90, which picks up the characters’ stories at the dawn of rave culture. We talked to the filmmaker about the challenge of transitioning from film to TV, the portrayal of drugs on screen, the death of subculture, and his secret hand in Disney’s Herbie reboot.
