Here’s every song on the ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ soundtrack
Dead Man’s Shoes returns to cinemas almost 20 years after its original release.
Directed by Shane Meadows (This Is England), the 2004 thriller stars Paddy Considine (House Of The Dragon) as a man who vows to take revenge on a group of drug dealers who abused his younger brother.
The film was nominated for eight British Independent Film Awards at the time, and has become a cult favourite in the years since.
Nearly 20 years after it was originally released, Dead Man’s Shoes was re-released in cinemas on September 12, starting with a showing at the BFI Southbank.
