Sunday Bloody Sunday

Directed by John Schlesinger

Bob, a young artist, navigates the emotional complexities of a polyamorous relationship with a male doctor and a female office worker.
Sunday Bloody Sunday was remarkably candid for 1971, treating a gay man’s relationship with the same adult complexity afforded to its heterosexual characters. Peter Finch and Glenda Jackson are exceptional, and John Schlesinger avoids easy melodrama in favour of something sadder and more mature: a beautifully observed film about love, compromise and emotional loneliness.
