Scala—the cinema that provided a refuge from Thatcherism

There have been many attempts to redefine our view of the 1980s and wrench that decade away from the legacy of Margaret Thatcher.

Cultural highlights of 2020

2020 has been a tough year for the arts with cinemas and theatres closed and festivals and gigs cancelled. Despite this there has been an outpouring of creativity much of it inspired by the lockdown and Black Lives Matter. Socialist Review asked 10 of our readers and contributors to pick the culture they have most enjoyed under quarantine.
Schitt’s Creek - Netfliix
There’s nothing ground breaking about the central story line of Canadian comedy Schitt’s Creek (rags to riches in reverse), but one aspect of the approach is certainly refreshing. The show doesn’t get everything right; the only black character is the (fantastically sardonic) town councillor Ronnie, for example. What it does do well, in my opinion, is it’s treatment of the central character’s pan-sexuality. When actor Dan Levy, who co-wrote the show and plays David, was interviewed about it he said they had considered how to deal with David’s sexuality and in the end decided that, as in life, it just should not be an issue, so they simply didn’t make it one. Over 6 seasons, on one of the only two occasions it’s mentioned, a female character who had assumed David to be gay but then has sex with him, questions this using wine as a metaphor. She says she thought David ‘only drank red wine’? David replies that he does drink red wine, but he also drinks white wine and had been known to sample the occasional rose, and a few summers back had tried a Merlot that used to be a Chardonnay. He likes the wine, not the label.
