DUFFER / MOON OVER THE ALLEY - BLU-RAY

BFI Flipside presents

DUFFER + THE MOON OVER THE ALLEY (DVD + Blu-ray)
Two films by Joseph Despins and William Dumaresq

THE FLIPSIDE: rescuing weird and wonderful British films from obscurity and presenting them in new high-quality editions.

An intense and bizarre study of obsession that is by turns lyrical and disconcerting, Duffer tells the deranged story of a teenage boy torn between the womanly charms of a kindly prostitute, and the relentless, sadistic attentions of an older man.

The Moon Over the Alley, from the writer-director team behind Duffer, explores the problems of the multicultural residents in a Notting Hill boarding house. Dark and disturbing, yet dreamlike and tender, this astonishing film includes surreal musical numbers by the award-winning composer of Hair, Galt MacDermot.

Unique and utterly compelling, these rarely seen cult films have been newly mastered to HD and are released here for the very first time
