BFI Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
Description
Synopsis: This is the seminal British New Wave film, its anti-establishment energy and gritty realism centred on the irresistible working-class hero Arthur Seaton, played by Albert Finney (Tom Jones, Gumshoe); unashamedly amoral, he spends his days in the factory, evenings in the pub and nights in the arms of a married woman. Powerful performances, from Shirley Anne Field (Alfie, Lunch Hour) and Rachel Roberts (This Sporting Life) amongst others, combine with crackling dialogue and a superb jazz score to create a vibrant modern classic. This digitally remastered edition is presented with a range of exciting extra features. Extras: Commentary by film historian Robert Murphy, with writer Alan Sillitoe and cinematographer Freddie Francis New interview with Shirley Anne Field Interview with Albert Finney We Are the Lambeth Boys (1959), Karel Reisz's classic Free Cinema documentary Cast and Crew: Director: Karel Reisz (The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Sweet Dreams, Morgan) Cast: Albert Finney (Big Fish, Erin Brockovich, Skyfall, The Bourne Ultimatum) Shirley Anne Field (Alfie, My Beautiful Laundrette)
