4 Shots From 4 Films: Special Piers Haggard Edition


4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

Today, we wish a happy 81st birthday to one of the most underrated British filmmakers around, Piers Haggard.  Though Haggard made few feature films over the course of his career, he is best remembered for his work as television director.  Among Haggard’s triumphs: Dennis Potter’s Pennies From Heaven and Nigel Kneale’s Quatermass.

In honor of Piers Haggard’s long career and his birthday, here are:
