The Swinging Sixties are over & the long grey morning after has only just begun. But there are still eye-opening new experiences in store for wet-behind-the-ears teenager Mike (John Moulder-Brown) when he takes a job at a rundown London swimming baths. After one of its more mature visitors steamily attempts to take advantage (Diana Dors in a superb cameo) he gradually wises up to find himself adrift with an increasingly obsessive interest in sassy self-assured co-worker Susan (played by a seductive Jane Asher). Giddily he follows her into the grimy underbelly of Soho for a long dark night of the soul -- soundtracked with great intensity by legendary Krautrock band Can. Will Mike sabotage Susan's relationship with her fiancé & get together with her instead? Jerzy Skolimowski's compelling darkly poetic portrait of Britain in an era of uncertainty & changing sexual mores now makes a long overdue return to the screen in a beautiful new digital restoration with extensive bonus features.
