Brassed Off

Grimley Colliery Band is a bastion of the local community and one which its leader, Danny, cares about passionately. For Danny, it is the music that embodies the spirit of the community representing the very lifeblood of its people. However, with the spectre of pit closures hanging over their heads, not all of the members share his passion... until the unexpected return of the town beauty, Gloria. A film that manages to make brass bands cool is a remarkable thing indeed and the fact that it never sinks to sentimentality is even more remarkable.
