Hunky Dory Film


 
 
Minnie Driver is the main star in this film drama set in Seventies Swansea, made by the people who brought us the all time classic film 'Billy Elliot'
Set in the summer heat of 1976, Oh how I would love a summer like that again! The drama is set around a teacher Vivienne who is passionate about producing a school play of shakespears tempest using musical hits of the time.
I wasn't convinced at first, I really didn't see to much of a storyline or the seventies but slowly the drama unfolded and by the end I found that feel good factor and a smile on my face!
It will never live up to 'Billy Elliot' in fact it was released very quietly in the u.k and we only heard about it via our involvement with the lido.
 
 

Filmed at Brynamman Lido
