Bicycle Boy
Ridley Scott's younger brother Tony Scott plays the "boy".,The Boy: When I'm 80, I'll look back at this day, this very minute, and remember I said I would. And it'll all be like yesterday.,Edited into Cinema16: British Short Films (2003),Onward Christian Spacemen
Composed and Conducted by John Barry,This film was offered as a free treat for BFI members in April, 2011. Easy to be wise after the event, but even so Ridley Scott's mastery of direction, photography and post production seems now to presage a major auteur. Internal evidence (theatre and film posters) suggests that some filming took place in 1961 in which case Scott was a young genius. As others have suggested, it adds up to nothing much. It's just a film poem. But what wonderful imagery. A lot of credits are missing. I reckon that the voice-over is not that of Scott's brother Tony who stars. Who's the mother? Who's the boat owner at the end? Whatever, recommended.,
