Private Road (Region B)
Compelling follow-up to the acclaimedĀ Bronco BullfrogĀ follows the struggle for social and personal freedom from London to the suburbs of Surrey and the wilds of Scotland
BFI Flipside presents Private Road, a film by Barney Platts-Mills.
This stylish and compelling follow-up to the critically acclaimedĀ Bronco BullfrogĀ relocates the youthful struggle for social and personal freedom to 1970s Boho London, the suburbs of Surrey and the the wilds of Scotland. A gorgeous, pouting Bruce Robinson (who would go on to write and direct Withnail and I) plays Peter, pausing from finishing his first novel to shack up with sugar-sweet receptionist Ann (Susan Penhaligon).
Sex, drugs, and some rigorous rural living ensue, to the dismay of Ann's well-to-do parents. Will Peter choose domestic conformity or pursuit of the artistic ideal. Thought-provoking, witty and compelling, Private Road is well worth rediscovering.
