Flipside 004: Herostratus: Dual Format Edition RRP 19.99 
Levy, Don
When a young poet (Michael Gothard - The Devils, The Valley) hires a marketing company to turn his suicide-by-jumping into a mass-media spectacle, he finds that his subversive intentions are quickly diluted into a reactionary gesture.

Unseen since 1967, this audacious and prescient work left a profound mark on the landscape of late-1960s British cinema, with echoes of its visual style evident in the work of such celebrated directors as Stanley Kubrick, Nicolas Roeg, and Michael Winner.
