2005 / Colour / Stereo / HDV & Super-8mm / 16:9 / 9’31
A seductive sense of chaos, anarchy and romance. An original, spirited take on the madness and unpredictability of life in our capital city
– Dave Calhoun, Film Editor Time Out London
It’s a bit of a long story really. Or maybe it isn’t. I don’t know. There’s a quite useful piece about the film on Wikipedia here.
The version on YouTube is quite low-res because I sort of didn’t really know what I was doing when I uploaded it. Obviously it’s kind of brilliant, but it’s fair to say that it is a bit flawed too. Why’s that? Well mainly because I didn’t really know what I was doing. The first scene is perhaps a hair too long and the use of language could maybe have done with a bit of restraint, although it seemed reasonable at the time. Please don’t watch it in front of small children or sensitive older types.
