Plots(1)
This controversial document of Britain in the 60s is a filmed record of an talented group of improvisatory performers. It's a razor sharp satire on everything from draft evasion and black militancy to middle-class pot-heads and blind-dating. Starring Paul Jones of Manfred Mann fame, The Committee uses a surreal murder to explore the tension and conflict between bureaucracy on one side, and individual freedom on the other. The film offers all the spontaneity and electricity of the live performance in the creative talents of The Committee, including a musical performance by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Furthermore, it features a spooky incidental sound-track music (never issued on record) by the just-post Syd Barrett Pink Floyd! (official distributor synopsis)
