During a train ride, an anxiety attack leads middle-aged illustrator John (Sir Alan Bates) into an identity crisis. As his marital problems merge and blur into his fantasy life with prostitutes and call girls, a long-dormant secret friend of his childhood surfaces in his delusions. Writer and Director Dennis Potter viewed John as “a victim of what he himself has created, a sexual fantasy that gets out of control. Fantasy should be one of the registered sexually transmitted diseases, which in John’s case, it is.”
Potter was one of the great and audience-challenging dramatists, working mainly in Brit TV, and was occasionally adapted for theatrical films. I don’t think I knew of this title, or that he had ever directed. Thanks for bringing it to us.
