Deep End - Blu-ray

Set at the fag-end of the '60s in a decidedly unglamorous and unswinging London (though actually filmed, very persuasively, in Hamburg), Skolimowski's pleasingly skewed variation on the coming-of-age sex comedy posits a bizarre, totally unsentimental education for its adolescent protagonist (Moulder-Brown), a somewhat naïve school-leaver newly employed at a run-down swimming baths and obsessively pining for a colleague (Asher). Often very funny, and blessed with pounding Can numbers on the soundtrack, it's an original and offbeat delight whose mix of eccentricity and gentle social satire have ensured its enduring status as a cult movie. It's good to have it back in this new digital restoration.

  Dated film that should have remained buried
  
  Unlike some of the other reviewers I felt this film hadn't stood the test of time and seems very dated. It has the zaniness and cynicism that was prevalent ... read more »

  A complex and deep psychological hidden gem
  
  Set in Britain during the swinging 60s but convincingly shot in West Germany. This is a strange but humorous tale of youthful adolecence and repressed sexual ... read more »
