Plot
Mike, a fifteen-year-old school-leaver, takes a job at a run-down London bathhouse, where he is surrounded by an assortment of customers. He becomes obsessed with his co-worker Susan, an older girl, and his fixation leads him to follow her, with tragic effect. Jerzy Skolimowski's 1970 film, with John Moulder-Brown and Jane Asher, mixes comedy with obsessive desire, and has striking colours that make it a cult favourite.
Sinekatalog’s take
Jerzy Skolimowski's London drama follows a teenager obsessed with a colleague at a seedy bathhouse. Funny, garish and then devastating, it captures adolescent longing with strange, sharp colour.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
