Deep End (15)

Presented by 3rd Festival of British Cinema

 – Parish Hall, Hay
Set in London of the swinging 1960s, Deep End should be up there with Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up or Roman Polanski’s Repulsion as another sharp outsiders’ view of 60s Britain. The setting is a public swimming pool, where teenage innocent Mike (John Moulder-Brown) is shown the ropes, floats, and a whole lot more by his worldlier colleague Susie (Jane Asher). Susie becomes an object of his desire and his behaviour becomes increasingly delirious.

Director: Jerzy Skolimowski 
UK1970. 90 minutes
