Strangers in the City

The film-making boom of the 60s drew a new breed of foreign directors to London, all with their own vision of the city. Polanski shot Repulsion in South Kensington. Antonioni made the definitive "swinging London" film Blow Up. This programme looks at London through the eyes of these directors and talks to the stars who worked with them including David Hemmings, Jane Asher, and Vanessa Redgrave.
