Moviedrome is a mix of guilty pleasures you never tire of seeing and overlooked gems you'll wonder why you've never seen!
‘Based on the Shelagh Delany’s highly acclaimed play, Tony Richardson’s Salford set Kitchen Sink drama remains essential viewing, exploring issues of race, class, gender, sexual orientation and more.’ - George Cromack
‘...broke a terrific number of taboos without judgement or sensationalism. It’s about human beings rather than ‘issues’; it shows underrepresented people as having dreams and desires and inner lives...the film still feel revolutionary’ - BFI
