Solarflares Burn For You (1973)

Road movie or acid trip? Throbbing to a hypnotic soundtrack by Soft Machine's Robert Wyatt, our journey starts in London - complete with a mime who looks like a refugee from 'Godspell'. The '70s then swing into an industry-scarred countryside made magical with day-glo pink skies, tangerine fields and acid-yellow roads. The British landscape has rarely looked more extraordinary. (Robin Baker)

A great illustration to Lindsay Anderson's belief that you can't make a film, in the Hollywood sense, with just a 16mm camera and your own instincts, but you CAN make poetry.

The BFI should release this on DVD. I'm sure there are more avant garde films from this period that would make a nice collection.
