Those unfamiliar with the Welsh dialect may want to bring an interpreter to Blue Scar. Emrys Jones plays a Welsh mining engineer who longs for the bright lights of London. Jones finally gets his chance to visit the British metropolis, only to find that village life is infinitely more preferable. Of interest is the fact that Blue Scar was written and directed by a woman, documentary filmmaker Jill Craigie. As was her custom, Craigie peoples the cast of the film with talented nonprofessionals.
