Contemporary fable about two teenage boys who get caught up in the world of copper theft, inspired by Oscar Wilde’s story of the same name. Set in a struggling working-class community in Bradford, England, ‘The Selfish Giant’ tells the tale of two schoolmates, 13-year-old Arbor and his best friend Swifty. Excluded from school and outsiders in their own neighborhood, the two young boys meet local scrap-dealer Kitten, and begin collecting scrap-metal for him using a horse-and-cart. However, when Arbor begins to emulate Kitten by becoming greedy and exploitative, tensions soon start to build leading to a tragic event, one which transforms them all.

This film is stunning - a visually powerful glimpse into a savage, precarious world, with humour and tenderness.
It can't just be reduced to a political diatribe, although the post-industrial setting is bleak and the poverty grinding. Mainly it's the story of a young lad's struggle towards adulthood, ahead of his time and in tough circumstances, as he learns the hard way what it is to be a grown-up.
The echoes of 'Kes' are obvious, but with the destruction of that old industrial world the characters too are ambiguous and troubled. Arbor is a complex mix of ruthlessness, cheekiness and wit. We see his character develop from being a cocky little tawt to something altogether more complicated and touching…IMDB Reviewer
