No Film Can Be Too Personal

You better believe it! Lindsay Anderson fights for his vision of an incisive, poetic cinema that speaks to and for us, without fear or favour, in two brilliant television films.

We are sorry to announce that, due to rights clearance reasons, we won’t be able to include Free Cinema and the extract from A Turnip Head’s Guide to British Cinema as previously advertised. We apologise for the inconvenience. We are pleased that we’ll present instead Lucky Man.

  • Total running time 130min

The ideas behind Free Cinema sustained Lindsay Anderson’s career and are powerfully unpacked in his highly personal essay film Free Cinema, while in Is That All There Is?, the tetchy director invites us into his own day-to-day personal life, in what might be one of the weirdest, most wonderful films of his career. A long extract from Alan Parker’s 1986 film provides powerful, polemical counterpoint.
