British New Wave
A Taste of Honey
One of the first British movies to deal with the all but taboo subjects of sex, abortion, and homosexuality. A critical and commercial success, it brought a distinctly feminine sensibility to the gritty postwar British New Wave. Rita Tushingham is luminous as a teenager impregnated by a black sailor. She leaves her effete mother and moves in with a young gay man who looks after her as she faces a decidedly uncertain future. Tony Richardson (“Tom Jones”) directs from an original play by 18-year-old Shelagh Delaney. UK 1961 (101 minutes)
