"I captured London without its traditional landmarks while searching for what happened behind the scenes. Looking for what hides behind the human soul, observing the contradictions, absurdities, the abstract, the surreal, the mystical, the frailties, being astounded by life's complexities, juxtaposing and blurring reality and fantasy, capturing togetherness, despair, rebellion, isolation, joy and sadness, surrounded by beauty and drama." — Frank Habicht, from ‘As It Was: Frank Habicht's Sixties’ @hatjecantzverlag #frankhabicht #60slondon #swinging60s #swingingsixties #60sphotography @frankhabicht https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbBOkeHn8p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tltxg56uv9zy

Farming - Adewale Akinnuoye- Agbaje (2018)

Farming follows the life of a Nigerian boy who is farmed out to a cockney family in 60's London as he struggles through the prejudices of the time and tries to find his own identity. 

The idea of farming out children is an intreresting phenomenon, probably more so because then motivations for it aren't addressed in the film, for some reason. That is quite a problem as very little of anybody's motivations are explained or even hinted at. Also, despite the strong performances from lead Damson Idris and Kate Beckinsale as his surrogate mother, far too much of it comes across as cartoonish and intentionally provocative rather than being honest or probing. It just falls a bit flat, and unbelievable...again, due to the lack of motivation.

Interesting but underwhelming.

6.5/10

Lunch Hour - James Hill (1962)

Bored, boring married long face attempts to embark on a lunch time affair with pretty art school beatnik chick - who's decided to work in a wallpaper company for some reason - but their every tryst is thwarted comedically in some way.

Then they finally book a hotel room like some cheap hookers and dissapear into fantasies about their married with kids cover story rather than getting jiggy. 

It's a kind of fun film, with music that sounds exactly like Mike Leigh's Life is Sweet so has that same kind of whimsical feel if you're after a bit of kitchen-sink that doesn't get heavy. Umm, that's about it really. 

7/10
