Title
O Lucky Man!
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- O Lucky Man! (1973) is a surreal British film, intended as an allegory on life in a capitalist society. Directed by Lindsay Anderson, it stars Malcolm McDowell as Mick Travis, the schoolboy from Anderson's 1969 film If.... Some critics consider this film one of the best British films ever. The film has been released on LaserDisc but not on DVD. A number of different edits exist, with some American prints removing around twenty minutes including the working class parody suicide just before the conclusion of the film. Even both British VHS releases delete at least one scene present in the BBC broadcast of the film (Travis testing his status in the home of his industrialist patron) in the early eighties. The BBC broadcast of complete film in the early eighties appears to have been a strong influence on many artists in different spectrums, being incorporated into the work of Grant Morrison and the pop group The Times, which sampled the film in their song "Pure".
