Sunday Bloody Sunday

Not to mention 13-year-old Daniel Day Lewis scratching cars...

nasty

Intelligent movie exploring bisexuality with men and women in adult relationships.

Would not be made today.

R2--what's "nasty" about it?

Agree it could never be made today (sadly). Not only that, TCM actually CUTS the kiss early in the film between the two men, and also clips out some of the nudity. I just like the matter of fact way the relationships are presented, as well as the 70s lifestyle (the kids smoke weed, etc). And those glass sculptures were fantastic!

And not to forget -- I have not -- Elizabeth Schwarzkopf's quartet from Cosi fan tutti -- such a beautiful choice.

Not widely known, but Head would go on to record the 80's classic "One night in Bankok."

Are you children smoking pot?

Are you Bourgeois?

Are you sure TCM censors movies? AMC, I would believe.

I couldn't believe it either R10, until I went to the imdb page. (I wanted to see if it was June Brown (Dot Cotton) playing one of Peter Finch's patients...it was). Anyway, this was a topic on the discussion boards. Pretty ironic, since the site also shows a copy of the 1971 poster with the two men in full clinch! I love TCM, but this makes me sick. I watch a lot of their foreign films, even though it irks me that they schedule them for 1 am on Sunday mornings...but I always assumed TCM showed movies complete and uncut. Some of the posters said they contacted TCM about this and received no reply.

*sigh* GOD, I miss the 1970s.....!

That's concerning, R11. Except for their unfortunate foray into colorization, I thought TCM was about faithful restoration.

An absolute masterpiece: possibly the best film of the 1970s. Glenda Jackson should have won a 3rd Oscar for the movie, but it was not well publicized in the United States. I particularly loved the scene where she was having dinner with her parents, her dad steps out to take a phone call and she gets into a conversation about compromise in relationships with her mother, played by Peggy Ashcroft. You would expect the mother to be closed off, but she opens up and is very sympathetic to her daughter's relationship issues. Glenda has deservedly been a Datalounge icon for years.

They do suck though. Our advice is that you should not click on the link and whatever you do, don't read their truly terrible articles.]

Glenda Jackson is an icon. Everything she did was perfection. She is still who you think of when you think of Queen Elizabeth I.

5 years late to the thread, but . . . R6, the famous operatic selection excerpted at various points in the film, then played complete under the credits, isn't "Elizabeth [sic] Schwarzkopf's quartet [sic] from Cosi fan tutti [sic]" but rather the beautiful *trio* "Soave sia il vento" from COSÌ FAN TUTTE, recorded specially for the film by Pilar Lorengar, Yvonne Minton and Barry McDaniel (and conducted by Richard Bonynge boy-toy Douglas Gamley).
