Brimstone and Treacle (1982)
Country: GB
Technical: col 87m
Director: Richard Loncraine
Cast: Sting, Denholm Elliott, Joan Plowright, Suzanna Hamilton
Synopsis:
Into the home of a middle-aged writer, his wife and their crippled, PVS daughter comes a mysterious young man who will have a profound effect on all their lives.
Review:
A big screen of Dennis Potter's (at the time unbroadcast) Play for Today, also with Elliott. Whether or not the idea came from Pasolini's Theorem, it can be seen as a twisted view of the saintly intruder who breaks down the rigid social barriers of the household, but suffused with Potter's rage at God and his illness.
