- "Absolute Beginners" is Julien Temple's musical ode to tempestuous 1950's British teenage life, love and anarchy.
Ray Davies stars as Dad in this musical sequence depicting Colin's crazy family.
Is this the best acting in a musical Ray Davies ever did? It's got to be close. This is just a wonderful bit of musical theater acting by all involved.
I've been trying to buy the rights to this film for two decades. Biggest influence of my young adult life :)
The music is brilliant.
Ray’s voice just makes me feel “home”. I love him so much.
If you like him in this, you should definitely check out the Kinks' "Come Dancing" from a couple of years earlier. A toe-tapping tune that also had a great video.
@@davidhollway That’s one of my favourite Kinks songs and videos! I’ve been a fan of the Kinks for years, they’re just brilliant

"confidentially between these walls, I'm on top of it all." Nothing gets by you Ray!!!
Great copy, thank you for this! Ray Davies is so wonderful.
This is Ray Davies back in the old vaudevillian form that was one of the many things that made the Kinks one of the greatest bands of all time. The cinema is stunning, too. Thanks for posting!
ahh Ray...his wonderful voice and fun little movies make me happy❤
Ray is a musical genius.
Dit is genealitiet van de beste sing and song writer van de wereld.
Top notch lyrics from a genius who can write about any thing in life
Superb Film Saw This Film when It Came out in 1986, Have it on DVD & Occasionally what It, Every time I Watch it I See Something I Didn't Notice Before :) Every Scene Has it's Own Merits :) Jon Buck
A genius at writing about the lives and trials and tribulations of people
I finally got this soundtrack on vinyl. Guess which is my favorite song to listen to when my husband's out?? Yeah, a perfect song if you married a man from Italy - " And the fellow who walks away, lives to battle another day. I've really got no appetite for a fight, not tonight." Davies could hang with Porter or Gershwin any time..
I wish this was available as a music track to stream.
Surprised there was no mention of Mandy Rice-Davies as Mum.
I just really like him in this, he looks so alive. Thanks for the upload!
Julien Temple... un grande. Ricordo ancora al cinema quando ho visto questa scena pazzesca: sono tornato a vederlo il giorno dopo per questa 🙂
Best scene in the movie by a long shot!
Ray Davies. Music Hall genius.
Fantastic song, great set and Pinky and Perky on the telly! Best bit of the whole film.
Love Ray Davies. His music is unique.
This is Ray at his Shangri La
Ray and brother Dave wanted to play the Kray brothers in the 1990 film. That would have been weird.
Chrissie Hynde called them the Krays of the music world back when she was with Ray. That’s probably where that story stems from
I laugh everytime i see the scene when Mr. Davies, with his vaacum cleaner, put out the dress from a woman
This isn't on ITunes. What should I do?
Is that Bruno Tonioni in that scene as one of the male suitors?
AB is not so much a film as a string of loosely related videos. Sir Ray's wistful ditty is my favorite, together with the spectacular opening track through Soho at night- which, maybe deliberately, is set in 1958, the year of Orson Welles's 'Touch of Evil', whose opening is similar.
The film suffers from trying to pack too much in, as if Temple was afraid he'd never get another shot at the big time (and he barely did). But that is a fault on the right side. The utter insipidity of the two young leads is something else.
There was a lot of 'The British Are Coming' blather at the time about a filmic renaissance, and when AB fell short it was too readily memory-holed as an embarrassment. Time to dig it up. There's nothing as ambitious in UK 2023.
The source material didn't have a strong narrative, which is a large part of why the film hasn't either.
I saw this when it was released, and didn't think much of it at the time, other than the last 10-15 minutes. But from the vantage point of the 2020s, it's starting to look like a classic!
