Про цей фільм

The revolutionary British New Wave films of the early 1960s were celebrated for their uncompromising depictions of working-class lives and relations between the sexes. Directed by Tony Richardson, a leading light of that movement, and based on one of the most controversial plays of its time, A Taste of Honey features Rita Tushingham in her star-making debut role as a disaffected teenager finding her way amid the economic desperation of industrial Manchester, and despite her absent, self-absorbed mother. With its unapologetic identification with social outcasts and its sensitive, modern approach to matters of sexuality and race, Richardson’s classic is a still startling benchmark work of realism.

Beautiful film, very real feeling, of a young working-class woman with a questionable mother, trying to become independent in early 1960's England. (Liverpool?) Still holds up almost 60 years later. Worth watching every few years. Rita Tushingham was perfect for the role, a regular, not very pretty lass.

Watched this movie when I was around 13 years old. I loved it. Haven't seen it since. A must buy movie!!!
