This is the most excited I've been about a DVD release since A Clockwork Orange finally went legit. All the hoo ha about the cut scenes tends to overshadow the myriad other pleasures, especially Derek Jarmans set designs, and the amazing cast including 2 of my culty favs Murray Melvin and Michael Gothard as well as the mighty Oliver Reed and a surreal cameo by old George Roper himself, Brian Murphy! And the documentary, and the commentary with the late lamented Mr Russell - how can this not be worth 12 quid of anyones money?!!
