Absolute Beginners
|
Absolute Beginners is a 1986 British musical film adapted from Colin MacInnes' book about life in late 1950s London, directed by Julien Temple. The film stars Eddie O' Connell, Patsy Kensit, James Fox, Edward Tudor-Pole, Anita Morris, and David Bowie, with featured appearances by Sade Adu, Ray Davies, and Steven Berkoff. It was screened out of competition at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival.[2] It received coverage in the British media but was panned by critics and became a box office failure, although modern reviews have been more favourable.[3] Bowie's theme song was very popular in the UK, spending nine weeks on the charts and peaking at number two.[4]
Sandie Shaw portrays Baby Boom's mother.
