Solving of the mystery, 27 May 1999
10/10
Author: amato from New Zealand

I last saw this film at the Electric Cinema Club in Portobello Rd London over 25 years ago, yet it had such an impact on me I can still remember it clearly and with great affection. It certainly is a film that can on each viewing reveal something new. Does anyone know if it would be available on video? After 25+ years of thinking about it I may be able to solve the mystery.
