About This Movie
Playing Fields is a raw and gritty look at the UK skateboarding scene in the late '90s. The documentary captures the essence of skate culture through the eyes of some notable skaters like Mark Channer and Ben Rodriguez. There's this palpable energy, almost frenetic, as it weaves between street skating and the camaraderie among skaters. The pacing feels organic, sometimes meandering, but that adds to the authenticity. It’s not just about tricks, but the lifestyle, the struggles, and the triumphs. The practical effects of real-life skating convey a visceral thrill, and you can feel the passion of the skaters. The original 1997 VHS release has this charm, and the 2013 remaster brings back those vibrant visuals without losing the soul.
