(Jerzy Skolimowski, West Germany/UK 1971, 87 min., 35mm)
On the seedy side of London, a 15-year-old virgin (John Moulder-Brown) takes a job in a bathhouse and quickly develops a crush on a pretty, older attendant (Jane Asher). While he gets up the courage to ask her on a date, his infatuation turns to obsession when he learns she’s having an affair with one of his school instructors. Set at the end of the “Swinging London” era, Skolimowski’s still fresh and surprising depiction of sexual temptation is one of the best films of the early ’70s. New 35mm print!
