Twin Town (1997)
10/10
Rhagorol! (Excellent in Welsh!)
14 October 2020
Watched it a few times now....i'm Welsh and went to Uni in Swansea so know it very well, especially the infamous and now long-gone Baron's nightclub ! The film is cracking - funny, poignant, serious and ultimately rewarding when the bad guy gets whats coming to him. The final scene with the choir on Mumbles pier still gives me goosebumps when I watch it. Nice to hear that a "companion" piece called Tin is in the offing, based in Llanelli i think....and in the meantime a short production exists called La Cha Cha which has some of the same cast and same director. As an aside I bumped into the twins (aka the ifans brothers) on a toilet stop in a small car park on the way to see relatives in North Wales years ago. I was so surprised that by the time I summoned up the courage to go and tell them how much I'd enjoyed the film they'd jumped in the car and gone! :-((
