Bad sex, bad drugs, and not-so-hot music (despite the aural presence of Comus, actually a pretty distinctive art-folk combo of the era); that’s what 1970’s Permissive is made of. Also bad hair and bad clothes. And incredibly bad manners, particularly for British people. Funsy! This interesting bummer of a release from the ever-inventive Flipside arm of the fabulous BFI DVD and Blu-ray division is the subject of this week’s Foreign Region DVD Report, now tan, rested and ready for love after a Cannes hiatus. At The Daily Notebook.
