Class - Repression - Revolution. Sixties Britain: Three Defining Films

A recording from my Live conversation with the brilliant Luke Honey, and a true story about my worst Valentine's Day ever (that later became an award winning short film)

Hello friends and readers of Kittenesque and a warm welcome to all my new subscribers. I had a great time chatting with Luke Honey this morning about three defining films of Sixties Britain: Joseph Losey’s The Servant (1963), Roman Polanski’s Repulsion (1965), and Lindsay Anderson’s If…. (1968). All of them superb.

Thanks to all who joined us live, and for those who missed it, catch the replay here. If you like good films (and who doesn’t?) I highly recommend that you subscribe to Luke’s excellent Substack WEEKEND FLICKS.

While I’m on the subject of films, I’ve removed the paywall for a few days from a post I published last year about my worst Valentine’s Day ever, which inspired me to write and produce the short film Keep the Chocolates (2016), directed by Kevin Boston, starring Ben Lawson, Cottrell Guidry and yours truly. It was featured in many international film festivals and won the ‘Best Romantic Comedy’ award at a film and television festival in New York.
