In a move likely to be welcomed by English-speaking audiences who find some regional accents impenetrable, Sweet Sixteen, a new film by director Ken Loach (Ladybird Ladybird, My Name Is Joe) set in Glasgow, Scotland, is likely to be released with subtitles. "Subtitles would give a non-Scottish audience a chance to adjust to the language without missing any of the story at an early stage," Zak Brilliant, a spokesman for Icon Films, told today's (Tuesday) London Independent. "We are still testing the idea on sample audiences and hope to have made a final decision by the end of the week." One of the stars of the film, newcomer Martin Compston, who was nominated for Best Actor at Cannes this year for his role in the film, said he had no objection: "If subtitles help people understand the film and enjoy it more, then fair enough," he said.
