Portraits of two young black british men, in casual 70s clothing
Young Soul Rebels, dir. Isaac Julien, United Kingdom 1991, 100 min., English, 15

A landmark for black and queer British film, Isaac Julien’s iconic, beautifully crafted 1991 period piece has been newly remastered by the BFI.

A convincing picture of late ’70s London, youth culture meets identity politics in this part-thriller, part-gay love story set days before the Queen’s Silver Jubilee celebrations. The hedonistic world of pirate DJs Chris and Caz is shattered when a close friend is killed while cruising in the local park. The black community suspect the National Front, but the police have other ideas.
