Nature of the Beast

About This Movie

Nature of the Beast is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the life of Dennis Skinner, a political figure who's both vibrant and raw. It really captures the grit and determination of a man who has spent decades fiercely advocating for his community in Bolsover. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing his story to unfold authentically, which is a refreshing change from the usual fast-paced political narratives. Skinner’s performances – if you can call them that – are captivating, filled with passion and conviction that really resonate. The film doesn't shy away from the harsher realities of his past as an ex-miner, which adds a layer of depth. It’s less about the polished political game and more about the unvarnished truth of standing up for one’s people. Quite distinct in its approach, it's a raw look at the nature of politics and belief.
