A Taste of Honey

“A Taste of Honey. There was something very exciting that happened to British cinema, and I think all the actors of this generation have held a kind of awe for me. They obviously were able to make films before all the extra stuff that sort of clouds our vision nowadays. They were able to be creative and immersed, and not have to be so self-aware, which is something I crave. So, A Taste of Honey is coming with me back to London.”

“Oh, childhood favorite, A Taste of Honey. Great film. I fell in love with Rita Tushingham... Tony Richardson.”

“A Taste of Honey. It's a story of a teenage girl whose Mother is kind of a teenager as well. She meets a gay boy who moves in with her and he's going to take care of her, be her friend, and he makes her horrible room beautiful... She's an outsider, truly, in the world that he lives in, and then that horrible Mother comes back... They sing this song, 'all the good ships sail on the olly o'... What it really means is you don't have a chance.”

“A Taste of Honey is so good.”
