Scrubbers (Zetterling, 1982): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 6pm

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.
