One of the most infamous and controversial british films ever. The use of real east end gangsters as extras was a masterfully done touch added to the film. Originally released in late 60s it was shelved a couple years before release due to the fat cats at warner bros hating it. Main plot of the film is about a psychotic and sadistic east end gangster with a bit too much ambition disobeyes orders from his boss Harry flowers(wonderfully portrayed by johnny shannon) and knowing exactly what will happen next so to avoid his imminent fate being murdered by the flowers gang he goes on the run and ends up in the seedy notting hill area renting a room from burnt out rockstar turner(mick jagger). The film then becomes a trippy exploration of identity and gender intertwined with sex and drugs!!
