Man Of Violence

BFI FLIPSIDE PRESENTS

MAN OF VIOLENCE aka MOON (DVD + Blu-ray)
A film by Pete Walker

THE FLIPSIDE : rescuing weird and wonderful British films from obscurity and presenting them in new high-quality editions.

In a world of gangs and villains, one man - Moon - will stop at nothing to get the girl and take the spoils. Pete Walker's affectionate low-budget homage to the gangster thriller is packed with sights and sounds from a Britain about to swing out of the sixties and into a somewhat less optimistic decade.

This release also includes The Big Switch (aka Strip Poker), Pete Walker's pulp thriller whose climatic shoot-out was filmed on Brighton's now destroyed West Pier.
