Poor Cow (Ken Loach, 1967)

Most movies about poor and working class British youth make the place look like a hellhole. And in some ways it does here, too, but it seems like the poor girl in this thing would have a pretty good life if she hadn't gotten pregnant and married an abusive criminal. Once he goes to prison, she gets mixed up with another one just like him. Everything would be fine if she could relax and live alone.

Made up of disjointed scenes, some of them linked by intertitles. We see her working in a pub, she visits her boyfriend in the slam, she wisely consults a divorce lawyer. At one point she becomes a model, but it turns out to be for those things where several amateur photographers cluster around and photograph a semi-naked lady all at once.
