Quentin Crisp has been described as one of England's works of art. In this remarkable film based on his autobiography; and featuring an award winning performance by JOHN HURT, the drama of Quentin's youth is recaptured in 1930's England.

In this funny and moving account, Quentin's experiences are poignantly depicted. It was a world of brutality and comedy, of short-lived jobs and precarious relationships. It was a life he faced with courage , humour and intelligence.

This excellent film was a Prix Italia and Emmy Winner, whilst JOHN HURT'S memorable performance as Quentin Crisp eaned him a BAFTA award for Best Actor.
