BFI Flipside: Seedy, sleazy and ignored British cinema!

by MovingPictures1 | created - 26 Oct 2011 | updated - 11 Oct 2012 | Public

BFI is restoring and making available lots of overlooked British films. The Flipside series contains mainly films from the sixties and the seventies. Most of the films were ignored by the general public at the time of their release. They are also seedy, sleazy, and certainly not to everyone's taste. All Flipside releases comes with several short films, documentaries, and even feature films as bonuses, which also are included in this list. There are some arthouse, some science fiction, some flipside sexuality to experience, but also interesting music from the time the films were made. Lots of "Zeit-Geist"!

Very speculative violence and nudity in this gritty british clubland thriller with gangster and spy connections. Michael Latimer is Moon, the man of violence. I believe The Wallace Collection is the band that plays in a gay-club.

This Pete Walker film has less graphic violence but is very exploitative with nudity. Seems like the export-edition is about ten minutes longer. Somewhat british gangster melodrama with a shoot-out at a ghost-train in an amusement park on a pier in Brighton. There is also a good (unidentified) progressive rockband playing in a club right at the beginning of the film. 67 minutes.

A very unusual musical, situated around a lodging-house near Portobello Road in London. Very kitchen sinkish! Many odd, but familiar, characters appear. In one scene a young couple goes to the cinema, and we are treated with Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo's dystopian sci-fi film IT HAPPENED HERE (1965). Galt MacDermot has written the music for it.
