Michael Winterbottom’s fourth collaboration with Steve Coogan, following the brilliance of 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE, A COCK & BULL STORY and THE TRIP, was released in cinemas last Friday to again, much acclaim for director and star. The fact-based film charts the rags-to-riches tale of entrepreneur Paul Raymond, who became Britain’s richest man with his string of top shelf soft porn magazines and members only nightclubs during his glamourous 1970s-80s heyday. However, his latter years were not helped by his drug and alcohol abuse which extended to his business partner and daughter, who tragically died of an overdose.
Check out this lovely but NSFW clip from the film, THE LOOK OF LOVE, which co-stars Anna Friel, Tamsin Edgerton, Chris Addison, Matt Lucas, Stephen Fry, David Walliams and Imogen Poots.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
