For the moment, the rare 60s, social comment, classic film : "Privilege" (director, Peter Watkins) : is available for viewing (in 14 parts) on YouTube.

See it while you can.

For some great write-ups on the importance of this film to our present time, checkout :

The film features white English blues singer, Paul Jones (Manfred Mann, Blues band etc) and iconic 60s model, Jean Shrimpton (amongst others of course!).


I'd love to see Watkins' other ever-relevant films too : "Punishment Park" - and "The War Game" and "Edvard Munch" ...
