Is there no limit to the talents of Elvis Costello?Yes,there is,as this piece of self indulgence,along with so many others,proves.

What a horrible cunt,one song was enough to make up my mind here,and then you listen to, if the south would have won,sure Hank,why don’t you fuck off back to a rock and crawl under it

Take good care of the forest Dewey.

Not surprised she got the part of Mrs Robinson after watching this,does any woman do a mournful stare into the camera better?

Child rapist Polanski produced a real turkey here,filled with cliche after cliche,but it’s nice to see actors sticking with a fellow artist despite a small indiscretion all those years ago.

Jack Rosenthal was a master of understatement and at capturing a long gone Britain

They should remake this with western actors,maybe in a western context?

Interesting in that it touches on child sex abuse,can’t imagine many films broched the subject at the time,but the film is basically crap

Compare this with Empire of the Sun,I think this captures the truama of war for a child just a litle bit better.We in the west tend to forget just want the USSR went through.

Brutal,but necessary viewing
