Screen Two: The Reflecting Skin

on BBC Two England

This BBC film divided the critics on its British cinematic release in 1990. But Philip Ridley's debut feature went on to collect awards at most of the major European film festivals before coming to Screen Two; it is shown in letter-box format.
Eight-year-old Seth is growing up in the American Midwest in the 50s. But the dream of childhood is about to be interrupted when a beautiful English widow, Dolphin Blue, moves into a nearby house. Ridley wrote the screenplay for The Krays and is also acclaimed as a novelist, playwright and painter.
Producers Dominic Anciano, Ray Burdis (1990)
