Secrets (1971)
Director: Philip Saville
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Drearily familiar stuff as a young married couple (Powell and Bisset), still in love but bored with each other, each enjoy a brief encounter (with Knight and Oscarsson, respectively), and then return - surprise, surprise - renewed and refreshed to their marriage. The acting is fair, but script and direction are dismayingly obvious. This was the first feature shot in Super-16mm, a process designed to reduce costs and (not that you would guess from this sample of pure predictability) 'liberate' film-makers from conventional pressures.Author: TM
