Rating: - Fantastic - but still missing scenes
Towards the end of the excellent commentary on the second DVD, Alan Price mentions that people who see this film in their early adulthood often say it fundementally changed their outlook on life - I have to agree because, well, I was that soldier. This film is a truely remarkable piece of work and somehow manages to rise completly above it's seventies origins and seem even more relevant more than 30 years on. Disturbingly the film's exaggerated and satirically ruthless businessmen and government ... Read More

Rating: - A most excellent sprawling epic of a film
There is a fashion at present to make films that go on and on and on. There are example where this expanse is used to good effect, such as the Lord of the Rings films and the opposite, such as the latter Pirates of the Carrebean films. This is an early example of a long film and it pulls it off with a swagger.

The second in a trilogy of films made by the late great Lindsey Anderson, O Lucky Man plots (albeit somewhat surrealistically) the progressions through life in the early 1970s ... Read More

Rating: - Finally released, O' Lucky Us!
This blackly comic classic finally gets a release to DVD.

And classic is not too strong a word. This film is the second in the loose Mick Travis trilogy and it is simply the most seminal film of 70s Britain.

A weird and wonderful travelogue through the winter of discontent peopled with true greats of film and TV and with simply the best soundtrack ever care of Mr Alan Price. It's a must have if you're on the right wavelength.

Rating: - Finally!
The DVD format is 10 years old - and finally we're getting a release of this, following on from Paramount's release of If... and the age-old release from Cinema Club of Britannia Hospital we can have a complete Mick Travis collection :-)

Of the trilogy of Anderson's films I find this (the middle work) the oddest, and the possibly the best - but it's so hard to judge between masterpieces.

The film follows Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowell) and his surreal adventure through '70s ... Read More

Rating: - Yorkshire Pudding.
It was a long time ago when i last sat down and watched 'O Lucky Man'. It was on VHS as it's been devoid of a DVD release until now.
I'm a Malcolm McDowell fan. He was born Malcolm Taylor in Leeds, not far from where i was born. Being a Yorkshireman myself like Malcolm, i guess that's part of why i have an interest in him so much, and in his films. In 'A Clockwork Orange' he makes no attempts to hide his Yorkshire accent. McDowell has always said how he loves to play northern characters in ... Read More
