Guy Hamilton – The Party’s Over (1965)
Quote:
Enigmatic young Melina (Louise Sorel) has fallen in with a group of Chelsea beatniks, catching the attention of the gang’s defiant leader Moise (Oliver Reed), but inviting scorn and jealousy from the group’s other members including Moise’s lover Libby (Ann Lynn). But wild and drunken partying has terrible consequences, and when Melina’s fiancee Carson (Clifford David) begins investigating, the shocking truth is revealed.
Guy Hamilton’s The Party’s Over is a stark look at the ‘other’ side of life in the 60s, where confirmity and convention have no place. Whilst the storyline that revolves around the actions of a group of beatniks and, in particular their leader, is undoubtedly interesting and keeps the viewer intrigued throughout, the subject matter of sex, death and necrophilia is at times somewhat nauseating. The striking thing about this film is the complete lack of compassion or emotion shown by the cast towards eachother and the situation they find themselves in and this results in the film having a somewhat depressing undertone. However, it is always a pleasure and most interesting to see a young Oliver Reed, and an even younger Louise Sorel makes a notable appearance with a good supporting cast of solid British character actors. Not surprising that it has fallen foul of the censors for so long, but as it was an important film in the development of British cinema in the 60s it is good to see it finally released. Not for the faint-hearted though!
