The Leather Boys

The film is directed by Sidney J. Furie in 1964. It is controversial film in that time because the film include homosexuality and 'Cafe racer.  The film was adapted by a novel. I chosen this film because the film was shot in the Ace cafe London and the film is also involve  'cafe racer'. The film is very old so I cannot find very high definition version. A girl 'Dot' marry his fiance Reggie. Reggie is a cafe racer. However, they had a unsatisfied honeymoon holiday. They start separate lifestyle, Reggie often go out with his biker friends. He start to race with his friends on the street. Reggie and Dot still quarrel all day. He start know Peter is one the biker. Peter is a great guy treat Reggie like a real friend. Reggie start loses interest with Dot. Dot do some rude behavior in Reggie's grandfather at funeral. Reggie have to leave house back to his grandmother's house with Peter. they hang out and find two girls but Reggie notice Peter is not interested in female. His wife with other people go to bed, Reggie discover this so disappointed. He find Pete to have a chat, but they meet in a gay bar. Reggie cannot accept this thing. Final, Reggie leave alone.

Many shots are really good, I can use them in my documentary. Such as cameraman use the track shot to follow racing motorcycle. The space of shot has changed from ambiguous space to deep space. In addition, many shots was shot in the Ace cafe. So it is also give me some advice how to shoot indoor of Ace cafe. The film follow Reggie and Dot life, but they both have some trouble, it is a very special theme. It is a classic kitchen sink drama. It is worth mentioning Reggie and Dot quarrel scene are really realistic. Main characters have great acting skills that can act emotionally.
