A Taste Of Honey (BFI)

even though this film is older than I am it is the best film I have ever seen in the world.Its so funny, and yet sad and dora plays the best and funniest drunk,so to all those people who have not had the pleasure in watching this memorable film its a must see. just a shame its so expensive to buy now, but I know at the end of the month I will be ordering it, and it will be kept in my speacial collection. so watch and enjoy and thank me later.

One of England's best movies.
The acting is superb.
A very realistic drama about an adolescent girl who wants to be independant of her mother,finding a lover,gets pregnant,finding her own place,a job and a special gay-friend.
A movie you can enjoy again and again.

A Taste of Honey is a wonderful example of the British 'New Wave', shot entirely on location and with inexperienced actors (the lovely Dora Bryan aside) it is the very definition of cinematic realism. Tony Richardson directs the cast through a number of taboo social issues with great subtlety, portraying them expertly through the soulful eyes and childhood innocence of the lead character Jo. On a basic level it is a film about relationships, look a little further and it is so much more than this, from the wonderful photography by Desmond Davis to the flawless performances and delightfully rich dialogue. A Taste of Honey will delight both fans of British Cinema and those new to exploring all that Film in the 60s has to offer.
