Was 1978 the most glamorous year ever, and will it be remembered as... Glamour's Golden Sunset? This is the bold claim made by filmmaker Marcel Grant in this film, which through archive footage along with contemporary interviews with some of the surviving characters, documents the star studded decadence of a scene in which the chic and famous of the world's major cities partied like there was no tomorrow.

Coffee Sex You

Director: Marcel Grant

Year: 2008

Maria Del Conte, a 26-year-old attractive and intelligent banker has made a decision to take her life on her 27th birthday. Having had an unhappy and troubled childhood, she moved to London and carved out a successful career as an investment banker in European media investment. It is through one of her rich clients, geeky 22-year-old Bruce Day, that she is introduced to Michael - a small time film producer. Maria finds a renewed interest in life by her association with Michael, a charismatic and worldly man, slightly jaded by a life full of disappointment. He asks her out for coffee. After many refusals she finally agrees to meet. Maria doesn’t drink coffee - she orders herbal tea. They start to meet on a regular basis in front of a backdrop of guerrilla film making, young entrepreneurs Russian ‘trophy’ girlfriends, beef-cake actors and temperamental directors in a modern day, multi-cultural London. We discover the truth behind Maria’s ‘birthday’ decision, the reason for Michael’s cynicism, Maria’s new passion for strong cappuccino and observe an unusual sexual and intimate chemistry develop between the two of them…more is never enough.
