This screening will be introduced by John Wischmeyer (City Lit).

Nothing and nobody is spared from Lindsay Anderson and writer David Sherwin’s caustic gaze in their inexhaustibly inventive and sometimes horrifying satire, the second in their ‘state of the nation’ trilogy. Sparked by an idea proposed by star Malcolm McDowell, it follows the continuing adventures of the Mick Travis character, now an ambitious coffee salesman, as he travels around a Britain of Kafka-esque bureaucracy and absurdity, his exploits commented on throughout by Alan Price’s musical interludes.

Content warning: Contains scenes of blackface and racist stereotyping.

Cast:
Malcolm McDowell, Ralph Richardson, Rachel Roberts, Arthur Lowe, Helen Mirren
