Death Of England: Face To Face

A man repeatedly punches and kicks another man during a brutal beating, but we do not see the impact of the blows or the resulting injuries. Another man is struck with a metal poker during a brawl, bloodying his nose.

There is infrequent use of very strong language (‘c**t’) and frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘effing’, ‘frigging’, ‘twat’, ‘toss-rag’, ‘dick-breath’, ‘bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘bastard’, ‘bollocks’, ‘bloody hell’, ‘tits’, ‘arse’, ‘arsehole’ and ‘piss’.

There are references to racism throughout the film, as well as occasional scenes of racist behaviour. For example, a group of white men shove their way into a Black man’s flat, attack the occupants and destroy the owner’s property, in what is strongly suggested to be an act of racist violence. There are flashbacks to a white man saying that a Black man is “low on f**king Englishness”, as well as a reference to a white boy calling his friend’s mother a ‘Black bitch’. There are also brief references to homophobic and transphobic behaviour, including use of the term ‘queer’ in reported speech. In another scene one man tells another not to ‘have a period’. The work as a whole does not condone discrimination.
