“A beautiful thing happened throughout the world in the late sixties and early seventies, the censorious bluenoses who policed popular culture, making the world safe for mediocrity, began to lose their grip on the throttle. Free expression flourished. In the realm of British film the loosening of restrictions largely resulted in a lot of sexually and formally juvenile movies like Confessions of a Window Cleaner and I’m Not Feeling Myself Tonight. But amidst this stupidity, a man named Pete Walker had set up shop. He produced films that had a lot more of the maturity and assurance of the best American and continental product. Cool It Carol! is a terrific movie about a young couple who come to London and are intoxicated by the bright lights and easy virtue. Soon the two have embarked on a voyage of sexual discovery both together and apart.” —Adapted from Lars Nilsen of The Alamo Drafthouse, on Cool It Carol! Showing as part of a double feature with Anna Biller's Viva.
(Pete Walker, 1971, U.K., 121 minutes, 35mm)
