Acclaimed British director Shane Meadows' assured debut feature is a tale of petty crime in the suburbs of Nottingham. Featuring energetic hand held camera work, brilliant comic dialogue and a host of ironic film references, Small Time clearly reveals Meadows' flair for larger-then-life characters and ability to extract accomplished, semi-improvised performances from talented non-professionals. Also included is Where's the Money Ronnie!, Shane Meadows' short film homage to Kurosawa's Rashomon, which offers four different views of a robbery.
