Tonight's screening includes an introduction by producer Don Boyd, The film, part of the Mai Zetterling season at BFI Southbank, is also being shown on May 24th. Details here.
BFI Southbank introduction:
Mai Zetterling’s borstal drama pulls no punches in its portrayal of a group
of troubled young women who laugh, fight and fall in love within prison
walls. The claustrophobia is tangible while the raw female energy erupts
as constant noise, violence and frenetic dancing. Zetterling’s
meticulous work with the cast really shows in the performances, making
for a powerfully affecting film.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
