British New Wave films on dvd

These two seminal films of the British New Wave thrilled and shocked audiences with their anti-establishment energy, gritty realism and their fresh, outspoken working-class heroes.

THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER
Sillitoe's screenplay from his novel has Tom Courtenay's compelling performance as the sullen, disillusioned delinquent offered hope by borstal governor Michael Redgrave, in this passionate and explosive tale of rebellion.

Remastered by BFI for dvd, extras include documentaries, interviews and illustrated booklets. Price of £27.50 for the pair saves more than £12.00 over mrrps of £19.99 each.
