Do not miss this extraordinary fly-on-the-wall documentary next week at the Curzon Soho. Filmed in and made by Oxford filmmakers James Bluemel and Gordon Wilson.
This is a love story.
Nigel and Robbie live together in Oxford. But this is not the Oxford of the dreaming spires. With mental health and drink problems, they live under the radar of social services – a dark, lonely and often dangerous place to inhabit.
Shot over a 6 year period, this film chronicles the complex relationship between the two men. The film raises many difficult questions about the nature of love, abuse and society’s duty of care. But at its core it remains a love story, an acutely observed portrait of a dysfunctional relationship within a dysfunctional world.
The film has been shown at the Sheffield International Documentary Festival and the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), which described it as “devastatingly intimate … but always respectful”
66 Months shows at the Curzon Soho on Wednesday 25th January at 6.30pm
Followed by a Q&A with director James Bluemel, producer Gordon Wilson and writer and psychotherapist Susie Orbach
