Private Road-Trailer

RE-RELEASED NOW by the BFI on DVD and BlueRay.
Excellent and highly influential film IMDB
I saw this film in Notting Hill Gate, London when it first came out in 1971; I was 22 at the time and probably stoned. Its advertising slogan was "We saw the stars in Private Road' which somehow caught my attention. It was one of those films which seemed to speak to me personally and had a profound effect on my life, particularly in sending me to Scotland which set in place a whole fascinating sequence of transformational events in in my own personal life and spiritual development. I remember little of the story, although I always fancied Susan Penhaligon, but the filming of the Scottish scenes somehow stirred in me a longing for that clear wholesome fresh air and natural beauty which has been an inspiration for me all my life. If I could get hold of a copy I would love to see it again.
