Adrift in Soho

Synopsis

Based on Colin Wilson's novel ‘Adrift in Soho’, published in 1961, following the book’s critique of society through the bohemian Soho of the 1950s with its trappings between the daytime poverty and the libertarian nightlife, and portraying a group of young people who meet in Soho.
Starting as a fictional drama about a documentary, the film ends up as a documentary of a fictional drama through the lens of a group of young filmmakers. It can be seen as an homage to the Free Cinema filmmakers of the 1950s, a movement that Colin Wilson lived through and very much identified with.
