The Tamarind Seed (Edwards, 1974): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 6.10pm


This 35mm presentation, part of the John Barry season at BFI Southbank, also screens on March 1st. You can find all the details here.

Chicago Reader review:
All right, so it starred Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif. You wanna make something of it? Blake Edwards’s film was still one of the few examples of a genuinely expressive visual style to come along this year, an uncompromised love story with some remarkable spiritual overtones. Posterity, not the New Yorker, has the last word.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
