Product Description
An extraordinary debut from one of Hollywood s most bankable UK ex-pats, Tony Scott s Loving Memory (1970) follows an isolated brother and sister who live with their memories and a grisly secret.
Critically acclaimed on its release Loving Memory was beautifully photographed by celebrated cinematographer Chris Menges - who captures perfectly the misty mystery of the Yorkshire moors and features a stunning, sinister performance from Rosamund Greenwood (Village of the Damned, The Witches) as a haunted innocent.

- One of the Missing (Tony Scott, 1968, 27 mins): taught psychological short about the lonely fate of a confederate soldier in the American Civil War.
- Boy and Bicycle (Ridley Scott, 1965, 28 mins): follows the adventures of a truant schoolboy played by the young Tony Scott as he cycles round Hartlepool.

`Loving Memory' is a beautifully understated monochrome study of isolation, obsession and the day-to-day minutiae in a secluded, self-contained universe. An incident at the beginning of this short film (which I won't spoil) colours the progression of the two principal characters - a brother and sister living by a disused railway track in Yorkshire. The scenery is often breath-taking and an eerie yet strangely comforting atmosphere pervades throughout. The sound design is superb - everything is emotionally charged from the tinkle of a teacup to the creak of a floorboard and Rosamund Greenwood's soft, sibilant Yorkshire burr. The film is moving, melancholic and above all macabre but you develop a strange sympathy with this odd semi-silent pair (in fact the brother never utters a sound...)
I would recommend this heartily to admirers of Sleep Furiously for the scenery and to fans of the dark intimacy of a Pinter play for the general ambience. One thing you will find yourself doing instinctively at the end of this marvelous piece of cinema is heading straight for IMDB and double-checking that, yes, this IS the same Tony Scott who directed Top Gun and Beverley Hills Cop II. An astoundingly odd career arc.
