The London Story
Sally Potter's lively dance film about spies and government intrigue.
This tale about three eccentric characters and their conspiratorial plans to reveal government secrets is played out like a silent comedy - or a Technicolor musical. Against a backdrop of familiar London locations, body gestures and movements are precisely but playfully performed to the dramatic music of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.
While Britain decides who its political allies are, Europe or the United States, three characters decide to act. They do so in the manner of a Technicolor musical comedy set against famous London locations.
