British coming of age film set in a grimy bathhouse. A cautionary tale about being obsessed with a really hot girl who’s older than you. Beautiful, unsettling and so underrated.
David Lynch said in an interview in 1982:
“there's never been a colour movie I've freaked out over except one, this thing called Deep End“

This is one of my favorite films in terms of aesthetics. One of the final scenes is the epitome of what I want my future work to emulate. It’s really hard to articulate what it is about this film that I love, but here are some key words: bathhouse, bright and seedy colors, beautiful woman, adolescence, a stunning scene with the Can soundtrack “Mother Sky,” angst, water, sex.

Honestly bro I had no idea wtf was going on in ts but the wardrobe was A1 and scene locations were mad cool. It also is the same dude who did Possession, ik a lot of you mfs on this app like that one. Starring Romy Schneider of “La Piscine” fame, also features a sleazed out performance by Klaus Kinski, it’s ab a photographer who likes some actress but her sherm bf is unhinged and manipulating her idk I got tired of reading subtitles. Overall it‘s a great movie to watch if you want to take a picture of ur screen to throw on ur IG story to make ppl think ur mad esoteric and knowledgeable ab late 20th century European cinema.

my favourite film.
PENDA'S FEN is a british written-for-tv movie, directed by alan clarke and written by david rudkin. it's about a boy named stephen, the son of the local vicar, who feels inadequate within his own conservative worldviews until he, through very evocative, esoteric and frankly quite scary dreams, discovers he's queer, and that's when his whole world (and ideals) start to change. the film deals with identity, nationality, queerness, capitalism and faith. i truly see it a perfect movie, even considering the very small budget and made-for-tv constraints. i think it makes it even grater.
“stephen, be secret,
child, be strange,
dark, true, impure and dissonant.
cherish our flame.
our dawn shall come.”

Slow down and think about what you’re really doing moment to moment
A lot of time and energy can be wasted trying to address too many things at once subconsciously
Occasionally check in with yourself to make sure you aren’t just anxiously passing time
