Little Malcolm and His Struggle Against the Eunuchs (DVD + Blu-ray)

A Film by Stuart Cooper A mesmerising and furious performance from John Hurt is at the heart of this chillingly dark comedy about delusional revolutionary Malcolm Scrawdyke. Rarely seen in almost 40 years, it is released by BFI Flipside in a Dual Format Edition with thematically-related archival short films and an extensive booklet containing new essays and interviews. Financed by George Harrison, and based on the celebrated 1966 stage play by David Halliwell, which also starred John Hurt, Little Malcolm was filmed in 1974 on location in bleak, wintry Oldham by director Stuart Cooper (Overlord, The Disappearance) and cinematographer John Alcott (A Clockwork Orange, The Shining).
