My Take

Karel Reisz is a name I respect more the more I learn about him. Born in Ostrava in what is now the Czech Republic, he reached Britain as a young refugee and went on to become a pillar of the British New Wave, with his BAFTA-winning work in the early 1960s capturing a gritty, working-class realism that felt genuinely new. I find it telling that the database tags him as American, when his story is really one of European displacement reshaped into British cinema. To me that tension, an outsider redefining a national film movement, is exactly what makes his legacy interesting.
