  Barney Platts-Mills' stylish and compelling follow-up to the critically acclaimed Bronco Bullfrog relocates the youthful struggle for social and personal freedom to 1970s boho London the suburbs of Surrey and the wilds of Scotland. A gorgeous pouting Bruce Robinson (who would go on to write and direct Withnail & I) plays Peter pausing from finishing his first novel to shack up with sugar-sweet receptionist Ann (Susan Penhaligon). Sex drugs and some rigorous rural living ensue to the dismay of Ann's well-to-do parents. Will Peter choose domestic conformity or pursuit of the artistic ideal? Thought-provoking witty and compelling Private Road is well worth rediscovering.

  A leading cult film of the 1960s and one of the finest records of Mod culture in British cinema Bronco Bullfrog was largely improvised by a non-professional cast of teenagers from Stratford East London and is loosely based on events taken from the actors' lives. Seventeen-year-old Del and fifteen-year-old Irene suffer the perennial problems of teenage lovers - no money and nowhere to go. Del's resentful suspicious dad and Irene's uptight comically snobbish mum only make things worse. So they turn for help to old friend Bronco Bullfrog fresh out of Borstal and pursuing an enviably independent lifestyle. A wonderful time capsule of late 60s London this is filmmaking with a spontaneity wit and endearing humanity that still feels strikingly fresh.
