Working Class

About This Movie

Working Class, directed by Jeff Durkin, is a fascinating dive into the lives of two underground street artists, Mike Giant and Mike Maxwell. It’s really interesting how the film loosely parallels Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, capturing that essence of duality. The pacing feels organic, almost like a natural flow of conversation, as it shifts between their shared experiences and the urban landscapes that influence their art. The use of real locations adds a raw authenticity that’s hard to replicate. The dynamic between the two artists is compelling, not overly dramatized but still emotionally resonant. You can feel the weight of their decade-long friendship through the visuals and their stories, each frame soaked in the texture of street culture. Definitely, something that stands out for its unique storytelling approach.
