Set against a backdrop of emerging teen culture and rising racial tension in late 50s London, Colin MacInnes' cult novel is brought to the screen in Julien Temple's lavish musical adaptation.

Struggling young photographer Colin sees his ambitious, fame-seeking girlfriend Crepe Suzette slipping away as she ruthlessly pursues a career in fashion. To win her back he'll need to compromise his idealism and do whatever it takes to make the big time himself.

Starring David Bowie, Patsy Kensit and Eddie O Connell, the film’s soundtrack also includes music from Sade, Style Council and Ray Davies. Originally released in 1986 and remastered to mark its 30th anniversary  “it remains an engaging and energetic film” Chicago Tribune

“One of the most entertaining movies this year, and one of the few that shows real invention and audacity, along with big-studio technical flash.” Los Angeles Times
