The Ploughman's Lunch

The Ploughman's Lunch

"The Ploughman's Lunch" is a 1983 "issues" film written by Ian McEwan and directed by Richard Eyre and featuring Jonathan Pryce, Tim Curry and Rosemary Harris.

Its subtext, according to the BFI, is "the way countries and people re-write their own history to suit the needs of the present"; the film's title is a metaphor for the rewriting said to have occurred in the aftermath of the Falklands War.
