The Boy Friend (1971)

On the heels of his most controversial, allegedly “blasphemous” film, Ken Russell “took a break” by delivering one of his most meticulously-detailed, ambitious, and opulent films: a sprawling musical parody of the vaudevillian styles of the early 20th century and the Early Hollywood Musical…starring Twiggy! (She’s really good in it!).

Director: Ken Russell

Cinematographer: David Watkin

Starring: Twiggy, Glenda Jackson, Christopher Gable, Max Adrian, Tommy Tune, Bryan Pringle, Murray Melvin, Moyra Fraser, and Georgina Hale

human traffic (1999)

review from my letterboxd (4th rewatch):

I honestly feel like the intimacy scenes in this film are the most honest and beautifully shot masterpieces I've ever scene, not a single part feels unnecessary and the laughs and love are just so genuine. This film healed something in me.

I am obsessed with this movie, it's still my favourite, I think I found it at the perfect time in my life. Everytime I show this to somebody they enjoy it just as much as I do and I'm so glad, this is forever going to be a cult classic of mine.
