Synopsis

Bitter Sweet is a contemporary love story set in Cornwall.

Becky and Jack were madly in love once, but drugs got in the way. She cheated him out of a deal, and to make matters worse, shopped him to the police.

When Jack is released from prison, he sets out to find her. The role of the avenging angel greatly appeals to him. A Penzance solicitor with a social conscience does his best to help Jack, but he just wants to get even with Becky. His love for her has turned into an unhealthy obsession, and now, hatred. She, in the meantime, turns tricks for money, working under the cover of an aromatherapist.

It is not long before he finds her amongst the sand dunes of Hayle, and he shoots Becky with his air pistol. She falls to the ground, crying out in pain.

There is a small graze on her arm. He offers to kiss it better. One kiss leads to another and the young lovers soon make up their differences. They are oblivious of a total eclipse passing over their heads. As the sun re-emerges they walk into the brilliant clear light.

Synopsis

A movie that tells the story of an archetypal human life using images taken from All around the World and The Last 100 Years of Cinema.

The images span the microcosm - inside the body - through the individual - the first cry of a new born baby - to the macrocosm - accumulated archive footage of ritual celebration and the carnage of war.

The editing, music, and the mythic narrative arc of the material is designed to take the viewer on a roller coaster tour of the human body and life cycle. Every possible depiction of the human life from microscopic medical to portraits and newsreels, from births to deaths, are cut to a powerful music track by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead to create a powerful and highly emotional film, with peaks of ecstasy and troughs of despair.

The power of this film derives from the force of numbers; each face, each person, each body, each glimpse of anatomy, is both abstracted and dignified by being part of a huge flow, a torrent of humanity larger that any of us can conceive.

A Century of Human Drama and Struggle captured in Moving Images.

The film is supported by a highly innovative website project which can be seen at www.bodysong.com.
