Local Hero is a 1983 Scottish comedy-drama film written and directed by Bill Forsyth and starring Peter Riegert, Peter Capaldi, Denis Lawson, Fulton Mackay and Burt Lancaster.
The film's soundtrack was written and produced by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits
This sweet, gentle film is a portrait of the inhabitants of a remote coastal, Scottish village who face, grapple with and even bungle dilemmas brought on by an American oil company that wants to buy the whole place.
The Scottish locations are, unsurprisingly, rather lovely!
"Genuine fairy tales are rare; so is film-making that is thoroughly original in an unobtrusive way. Bill Forsyth's quirky disarming Local Hero is both."Â
-The New York Times critic Janet Maslin
