Gregory's Girl

GREGORY’S GIRLGregory’s Girl is one of the most beloved
Scottish film ever made. Writer-director
Bill Forsyth (Local Hero, Comfort and Joy)
beautifully portrays teenage awkwardness
and optimism in a film that captures new town
life like no other. Forsyth achieved a tender
rapport with the youthful ensemble cast led
by John Gordon Sinclair, Clare Grogan and
Dee Hepburn: the entire cast sparkles amidst
Cumbernauld’s concrete architecture, the
Cumby Fields and on the red ash football
pitch. “The film was about adolescence and
about being young and the pains of growing.
I thought to myself, why don’t we set the
film in an adolescent town? I remember saying
to someone, ‘Even the trees in Cumbernauld
are teenagers so everything fits.’” – Bill Forsyth.Dir: Bill Forsyth
