PRESSURE (Horace Ové, 1976, 35mm, 126 mins)
New print! The UK’s first Black feature-length drama stars Herbert Norville as a young Brit navigating life in Ladbroke Grove, not quite at home with either his Windrush-generation Trinidadian family or an unaccepting English establishment. PRESSURE “has the punchy quality of a 21st-century graphic novel, eagerly tackling Black Power and social realism, mixing comedy, tragedy, and irony” (Peter Bradshaw). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
