(1967) Paul Jones, Jean Shrimpton, Mark London, Jeremy Child. Dir: Peter Watkins.
Britain’s most popular pop-singer is actually the tool of the establishment. Curious faux-documentary that’s too OTT to be taken entirely seriously, but too bleak to be funny. A reaction to the screaming crowds of its day, but still has plenty to say about celebrity adulation. A fascinating and troubling film.
