I’ve become a low-key big fan of the #BritishNewWave. There’s something about the topics explored, the raw nature of the exploration, the intense performances, and how it all gels. A TASTE OF HONEY (’61) may be my new fave from the era. Devastating performances from Rita Tushingham and Dora Bryan as not-very-close daughter/mother who drift apart and then back as each wrestles with love challenges. A beautiful, thoughtful work.
@JessMcGrath part of the 'kitchen sink drama' wave along with the likes of Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. Big influence on music too esp. The Smiths.
