A very rare opportunity to obtain a highly-regarded 'art house' film of the 1990s, written and directed by Terence Davies.

The good news: It's a lovely print with great colour, and as you would expect from the year, it's on low fade stock (I can check which type, on request). I can't recall any splices, but I expect there are one or two lab joins. At least half the print is excellent condition, with very little or no sign of wear.
The bad news: I'd guess nearly half has visible wear in the form of lines that come and go, including one or two emulsion scratches that vary in terms of position, etc. In my experience, some people would think these are mostly not too intrusive, while others might find them annoying. Don't hesitate to ask if you would like more details.

In the circumstances, weighing up the pros and cons and the rarity of the print, it's difficult to decide on a price, but I think £70 + postage at cost would be fair, which is what I paid for it some years ago.

If anyone going to 'Big Screen Time Revival' on Sunday wanted to buy it, I'd happily take it there,
