Flipside 015: Duffer + The Moon over the Alley: Dual Format Edition (Blu ray + DVD) 
Despins, Joseph; Dumaresq, William
BFI Flipside presents Duffer and The Moon Over the Alley, unique and utterly compelling, these rarely-seen cult films are released here for the very first time.

Duffer, an intense and bizarre study of obsession that is by turns beautiful and disturbing, tells the story of a teenage boy torn between the womanly charms of a kindly prostitute, and the sadistic attentions of an older man. Both whimsical and disturbing, with a quirky sense of the grotesque, Duffer is a film that defies easy comparison.

The Moon Over the Alley - equally unconventional - is a musical about the problems faced by the multicultural residents of a ramshackle boarding house, with magic realist musical numbers by Galt MacDermot, the award-winning musician and composer of the Broadway hit Hair. The Moon Over the Alley captures the human energy and community spirit of London's Portobello Road with a wit, strangeness and charm.


Extras
* Fully illustrated booklet with newly commissioned essays by Stephen Thrower and Rob Young, and Joseph Despins' personal recollections of making the films.
