Storyline
Featured review
Brilliant, first-decade, Channel 4 curio.
You shouldn't write anything online when you're drunk, but what the hell. I first saw this on the telly in 1992, when I was 28, and I doubt that it's been on since. But I remembered it. And ever since the internet came of age, so to speak, I've been looking for it. Then someone posted it on YT recently. And unlike many things you revisit from the past, this was wonderful. I'm going to make the rest of this review very brief. If you like strange, meditative documentaries about oddballs, you'll like this. If you like Iain Sinclair, secondhand bookshops, occultism, and literary obscurantism, this is your bag. Even if you don't, it's only forty minutes long, and its very strangeness might captivate you. In case it didn't come across-I loved it. I warned you I was drunk.
