Pardon my language - FUCKING FANTASTIC! We missed the first 10-20 minutes due to issues with till and a little bit of fannying around, but nonetheless. It was absolutely fucking brilliant, Boorman seems like an incredible man. Such a shame his reputation was somewhat tarnished from what was a rather decent film. What a guy.
