Product Description

Product Description

PRIMITIVE LONDON (DVD)

The sensational follow-up to London in the Raw, Primitive London sets out to reflect society's decay through a sideshow spectacle on 1960s London depravity and manages to outdo its predecessor.

Here, we confront mods, rockers and beatniks at the Ace Café, cut some rug with obscure beat band The Zephyrs, smirk at flabby men in the sauna and goggle at sordid wife-swapping parties as we discover a pre-permissive Britain still trying to move on from the post-war depression of the 1950s.

Remastered from the original negative and presented with an array of amazing extra features, this is essential viewing for anyone with an interest in the nation's capital and its uncharted past.

3.0 out of 5 starsHard to get 60s exploitation movie.
By A. Miles VINE VOICE on 14 Jun. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This kind of shock-doc was a bit of a staple of early 60s cinema, the opportunity to show the odd nipple or two getting by under the pretence that these movies were educational rather than merely prurient. So under the unconvincing pretext that we are looking at how the utamed beast that is man still lurks under the veneer of civilisation, we have a series of bizarrely random featurettes that are purport to show how the caveman is still extant on the streets of contemporary London. A baby is born in queasy detail. Strippers. Mods buying clothes. More strippers. Two women get their hair styled. A city gent being fitted for a bowler hat. A fashion parade of 'Topless Swimsuits' Rockers at the Ace Cafe. Beatniks listening to a blues combo. a pop group at a club. A series of completely incomprehensible comedy inserts set at a radio station featuring a young Barry Cryer. And so on. It's all pretty interesting, more because of the period detail than the subject matter, this vision of a knackered postwar society determinedly dragging itself into consumer capitalism.

Great old-school 'Balham-Gateway to The South' stylee voiceover, a great booklet featuring an essay by Iain Sinclair, and some nice extras on the DVD. Music fans might be tempted by the fact that 60s composer and electronic music pioneer Basil Kirchin does the soundtrack.

4.0 out of 5 starsInteresting historical document
By Fletch-a-sketch TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 30 April 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Interesting historical document of a London passed, maybe some of it could be described as gratuitous and at no point could it be considered politically correct. The seamier side of London is spot lighted he general area of Soho.
The Picture quality is very good on the Blu Ray the BFI extracting the best they can from the film stock, the sound quality is pretty good but obviously not up to the standards of Modern Movie making. I suspect of you are reading the review you will be interested in the film and all I can say is I enjoyed it.

3.0 out of 5 starsBuy it for the good B- films - avoid the main appalling feature by Miller.
By Icarus on 1 Sept. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I think this was one of the sickest things i have ever seen - i am talking about the main film by Arnold L. Miller. Not the nudity or sexual inuendo, that is all mild but the cross editing with the body fluids and blood of a baby birth, back to sexual body images of women. This really is sewer stuff which manages to reduce what should be something beautiful, the birth of human life, with sordid references. Was Mr Miller sick in the head?

However, in an extraordinary juxtaposition from the BFI, the added "B" features are very good. One short film called the Chelsea Boys an authentic and pure documentary about 1960s bikers with great filming around London and another short film called Pub which really captures the reality of how pubs used to be, no fake editing or pretend sound tracks. Excellent atmospheric footage of the era beyond all the hype of swinging London and all that over-used rubbish.

What the hell are these two gems doing on this appalling, nasty fronted feature DVD? Did the DVD compiler at BFI have an epileptic fit when he combined these films on this DVD?

3.0 out of 5 starsPrimitive London
By Mike Hardy on 24 Jun. 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Images of London life as it was in the 1960's.
Nothing of a 'sexy' nature. To give some idea the material used in this compilation includes witness to a difficult birth and a man having as some thick skin on the ball of his foot cut and peeled back so the corn could be lifted!

4.0 out of 5 starsBetter than 'London in the Raw'
By Andy Warhol's Favorite Wig on 7 Feb. 2016
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
There are two BFI Flipside 'Mondo' type DVD's and this is definitely the better of the two. The main feature and extras bring much more interesting than the 'watch it once' London in the Raw'.

Gives an insightful look at 60's Soho, and though to our eyes it seems rather tame and sexist, it's well worth a look.
