Here the camera finds mods rockers and beatniks an obscure band called The Zephyrs seedy Jack the Ripper enactments flabby men in the sauna sordid wife-swapping parties and more. Shot just as the sixties was really starting Primitive London shows a Britain trying to find a way of transiting from the post war depression of the 1950''s and the shiny brave new world of the mid 1960''s. Miller''s... companion piece London in the Raw is also released this month. [show more]
