The Girl Chewing Gum || John Smith 1976

[@Hoots_Maguire]

Great performance by the Girl Chewing Gum, which well merited the 1976 Best Actress Oscar. A career best performance which encapsulated the ennui and despair of mid-70s Britain.

A wise man once told me about this film. Wise he was indeed.

So little views and comments on this, it’s genius. So playful and fun showing how simple it is to distort and create illusions with a camera

[@bellinghammond]

it's a conceit that grows tiresome 17 seconds into the "film"

[@riffraffrichard]

@@bellinghammondeach to their own I love it even just as a snapshot of a busy town in the sixties. The genius bit is when the bell stops and you realise it was added on in post

if you like this you'll also like the Nathan For You episode "Smokers Allowed", and the (also British) Tom McCarthy novel Remainder

not sure why there was a need for an alarm to be ringing throughout. quite irritating and silly premise too imo.
