I first watched this on a dodgy vhs tape in 1979 as a 12 year old.
Trying to be both rebellious & Adrian Mole at the same time, I subsequently raved to my friends that this was punk ( which was already over ) and simply an awesome film that I got from the opening scene to closing titles.
My one warning to friends was that Toyah's character was really really really annoying.
Fast forward 42 years and I decided to watch it again & to my utter horror I realised that it was in fact a steaming pile of pompous art school crap, and not the towering masterpiece of youth culture art house film making I had told all my equally impressionable mates about 😳
What was I thinking when I was 12 ?
Thankfully since then my taste has improved greatly & I can now fully appreciate art house & independent cinema as well as marvel movies.
But I got one thing right back then , Toyah's character is still really really really annoying.
