- Ray Davies of The Kinks, well-respected as one of rock’s best storytellers, makes his filmmaking debut in “Return to Waterloo” (1984, 60 min.), a unique synthesis of music, video and cinema. Davies’ haunting songs take “The Traveller” on a suspenseful journey through his imagination as he confronts reality and fantasy, love and violence. Starring Kenneth Colley in one of his earliest roles.

Thanks for uploading this! Brilliant!
Good one
I always call Ray the Dickenson of Ditty cause of his complete psychological and sociological mastery of a three minute tune, but here he shows his full transcendent genius. Ray is far, far above the paltry genre of rock n roll.
I saw this at the Somerville Theatre outside of Boston when it first came out. Glad I got to see it again, I just didn't get it the first time. It was fun to see it on the big screen but I walked out of that theatre completely confused
Could you explain it to me? I’m still not sure what exactly is going on. 😁
Thank you for posting this, I thought at the time, and still do, it's a masterpiece.
Top film
Who else watched this just because of cutie Tim Roth?

I suppose having a lead who never speaks is bound to leave some open questions, but this film has some big ones. It's pretty clear that the guy found his daughter attractive, but was there more than just that? Is that why she left home? Does his wife know the answers to these questions? She seems to at least have suspicions. Then, is our man actually the Surrey sex offender on the posters, or is the resemblance just an unfortunate coincidence? These questions float over the whole story with no hint of real resolution. I don't really know what to think about all of it, or the film itself.
