| Synopsis: | Sponsored by the British Film Institute and Channel 4, Bliss's first feature is a road movie with a difference: a glimpse of a grim future that is nonetheless bright, lively, and positive in its mixture of humour, fantasy, dream and down-to-earth realism. Two youths, black Winston and white Eddie, are both unemployed in a right-wing economy where strikes are illegal and the streets are patrolled by police. But Bliss finds grounds for working-class hope even in Thatcher's Britain. No viewing copy available. | |
