A morality tale set in late 60s London, often praised as a satire of young people these days and their older cheerleaders, but in fact an exploration of Henri de Montherlant's philosophy of the self-sufficient man who only engages with romance as a passing diversion.  

Note on sound quality: heavy rain at times.
Note on content: includes a discussion of racial slurs
