Ken Loach: My directorial career not over by a long shot

Ken Loach isn’t done yet.

The 77-year-old British director said he has “enough petrol in the tank” to probably make a “little one more”. While making his latest film, Jimmy’s Hall, Loach suggested it would be his last fictional feature.

But at the Cannes Film Festival, where Jimmy’s Hall, premiered yesterday, Loach said his retirement announcement was uttered in “a moment of maximum pressure” during production.
