The Boy Friend
1960s superstar fashion model Twiggy and Broadway dancing star Tommy Tune headline Ken Russel's lovingly comic homage to the Hollywood musicals of the 1930s in The Boy Friend. When the star of an English stage musical twists her ankle seconds before the curtain goes up, shy, young assistant stage manager Polly (Twiggy) takes her place. Now, the show goes on as Polly sings and dances her way through a kaleidoscope of psychedelic interpretations of choreographer Busby Berkeley's classic musical numbers. While an audience watches, Polly finds love and stardom before the curtain comes down on The Boy Friend.
Drowning by Numbers
Mannen til Cissie Colpitts har kommet full hjem sammen med et annet kvinnfolk og så Cissie bestemmer seg for å drukne ham.
Drowning by Numbers
Cissie Colpitts seems to have some trouble with her way to flirtatious husband, and decides to drown him. Her daughter and her niece, both also called Cissie Colpitts, are equally dissatisfied with their respective husbands, and decide to follow in Cissie Colpitts senior’s footsteps. By numbers, the three husbands are drowned, in this slightly absurd, fairy tale-like Greenaway dramedy. By its release Drowning by Numbers won awards for its direction and artistic contribution at Cannes Film Festival and Seattle International Festival, as well as the Audience Award at Warsaw International Film Festival.
French Dressing
En sliten britisk kystby starter en filmfestival for å markedsføre seg selv, men ingenting går etter planen når en fransk filmstjerne ankommer byen.
The Boy Friend
1960-tallets superstjerne Twiggy og Broadway-dansestjerna Tommy Tune er hovedrolleinnehaverne i Ken Russels herlige komiske hyllest til Hollywood-musikalene fra 1930-tallet i The Boy Friend. Når en engelsk musikalstjerne vrikker ankelen sekunder før teppet går opp, tar den sjenerte, unge regiassistenten Polly (Twiggy) hennes plass. Forestillingen fortsetter mens Polly synger og danser sin vei gjennom et kaleidoskop av psykedeliske tolkninger av koreograf Busby Berkeleys klassiske musikalnumre. Mens publikum ser på, finner Polly kjærlighet og berømmelse før teppet går ned i The Boy Friend.
