Dir. Richard Lester | UK | 90 min

This brilliant vision of dystopian Britain Made in 1969 and based on the Spike Milligan play of the same name, The Bed-Sitting Room stars Dudley Moore, Peter Cook, Spike Milligan & Ralph Richardson and was directed by Richard Lester, the man who brought us HELP!, Superman II, The Knack & Royal Flash. The story takes place in a post apocalyptic world, where a group of bizarre people travel from one pile of burning rubble to the next and are repeatedly told by police to “keep moving” ala Beckett with “Godot”. Using a surreal starting point, the film establishes a fevered kind of satire about the evolution of man via objects, possessions and technology. A must see.
