Sunday Bloody Sunday

THE GIST: A look at the complicated polyamorous relationship between young, free spirited artist Bob and his two lovers: Daniel, a lonely mature doctor, and Alex, a divorced, independent, middle-aged woman.

Directed by John Schlesinger, Sunday Bloody Sunday is a very daring movie, even by today's standards, which goes a long way towards illustrating how little the entertainment landscape has been able to normalize talking about sex versus, say, violence.

Murray Head is good but Peter Finch and Glenda Jackson are excellent.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Interesting to watch, especially for a cinephile, as long as you can handle the topic.

Grade: 7
