Promotional Material

The grimy criminal underworld and hedonistic rock-and-roll counterculture of late-1960s London collide in this mind-scrambling, kaleidoscopic freak-out. On the run from his vengeful boss, a ruthless gangster (James Fox) hides out in the Notting Hill home of a reclusive rock star (Mick Jagger) and his companions (Anita Pallenberg and Michele Breton), who open the doors of his perception as the lines between reality and fantasy, male and female, persona and self, dissolve in a hallucinogenic haze. Built around Jaggers most magnetic narrative-film performance, this visionary collaboration between enigmatic artist Donald Cammell and first-time director Nicolas Roeg is a daringly transgressive, endlessly influential journey to the dark side of bohemia.

The second movie, the directorial debut of Peter Ngor has the God of Carnal Desire, God Wu Tung on a quest for revenge after his favourite conquest is zapped by other god like beings and in the third piece from Kai-Ming Lai, a man journeys into the afterlife only to be greeted by a very powerful woman. A trilogy like no other, this one hits the spirited saucy spot.

TERROR IN YOUR REAR-VIEW MIRROR!!

Steven Spielberg directs this high-velocity thriller about a motorist terrorised by an evil truck. Spielbergs first full-length movie, Duel, helped jumpstart the directors big-screen career, with a gripping, action-packed story hailed by critics as a film that 'belongs on the classics shelf reserved for top suspensers' (Daily Variety).

Dennis Weaver stars as the travelling salesman waging a desperate battle for survival after he is mysteriously singled out. Praised for its deft use of relentlessly mounting psychological tension, Duel features one of the most uniquely terrifying 'characters' in movie history: a massive, roaring, 40-ton truck with sheer menace. A few years later, the action of Spielbergs blockbuster hit Jaws would echo Duels tale of a lone hero in a heart-stopping fight to the finish against a monstrous, inhuman foe.
