On this week’s archive edition we return to 2013 and director Clio Barnard's reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s famous fairy tale – The Selfish Giant.

‘Well I guess I see it as a love story really, but it’s about a friendship between two boys and I guess they are trying, struggling to come of age – Clio Barnard.

In this film, Wilde’s fairy tale is transported to the estates of Bradford. Barnard is never shy of dealing with tough subject matter and the drama has real emotional punch, with incredibly brilliant debut performances from the young cast.
