The System
Rarely seen in since its release, THE SYSTEM is a great lost document of mod 60's British culture, utilizing the talents of many artists who went on to more celebrated accomplishments. Michael Winner (DEATH WISH) directs the late Oliver Reed, who stars as Tinker, the leader of a gang of blazer-and-necktie sporting youths who are on holiday at a seaside resort- picking fights, terrorizing tourists, and leaving a trail of dishevelled young females in their path. The ruggedly handsome Tinker, however, is not prepared for one of his many young female conquests to capture his heart. Nicholas Roeg (PERFORMANCE, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH), does a creative job behind the camera in this captivating, authentic precursor to QUADROPHENIA.

Nostalgia plus
Nostalgia - wonderful - some really good performances, even though it is very dated now. Oliver Reed shows great potential, and the soundtrack is interesting.

The sixties
Fantastic filmic sixties here. Magnificently awful dialogue, hideous mysogonist plot, 'issues' discussed out of the corner of mouths (abortion, class), ... read more »
