John Schlesinger's brilliantly observed suburban drama finds a recent divorcee (Glenda Jackson) and a middle-aged Jewish doctor (Peter Finch) in a progressive love triangle with a bisexual artist (Murray Head).
Both discover a new freedom with their young lover, as they confront the conventions that have defined their lives.
A penetrating portrait of middle-class mores and permissiveness in 1970s London, its depiction of bisexuality transformed LGBTQ+ representation on screen.
Featuring BAFTA-winning performances by Finch and Jackson, Sunday Bloody Sunday is both a tender character study and a complex exploration of the politics of love, lust and longing.
