Bronco Bullfrog

Bronco Bullfrog de Barney Platts-Mills (1969)

A priori un film culte sur la culture Mod tourné dans l'East End London.

Barney Platts-Mills
, cinéaste né en 1944 à Colchester, filme la jeunesse anglaise, Private Road (1970), Hero (1977), mais aussi des documentaires (David Hockney), semble suivre une carrière de producteur et écrit pour le théatre.
Sans grand intérêt...
Excepté ce Bronco Bullfrog.
Que la Semaine de la Critique (Cannes) avait repéré.
Pas vu !
Mais le désir...
Voilà donc qu'à Brigthon.
Celui-ci sera projeté...
Et que l'article qui suit, emprunté à ModCulture (cf: Move the Mouse),
Donne envie...

"You might have seen our Bronco Bullfrog still gallery, but have you ever seen the film? If the answer is 'no', you're in luck - there's a rare screening of Bronco Bullfrog at the Duke of York’s Picturehouse in Brighton.
So cult it hurts, Bronco Bullfrog is being shown in a new digitally enhanced version, accompanied by a Q&A with director Barney Platts-Mills. For the uninitiated, it's a 'youth' film from the late 60s with an untrained class, the plot following Del, a 17-year-old apprentice welder whose relationship with 15-year-old Irene meets with family disapproval. After helping Bronco, Del’s mate on the run from borstal to rob a railway truck, the teenage lovers go on the run and end up taking refuge with Bronco with the Police on their trail.

Noted for being the first (and possibly only) movie featuring the suedehead look (courtesy of Bronco), the movie is showing on Wednesday 2nd December 2009 at 6:30pm."

On doit cependant pouvoir trouver un Dvd quelque part...
