Two British New Wave classics are re-issued on DVD and released on Blu-ray in new high definition transfers by the BFI on 23rd March 2009 - Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), stars Albert Finney, Shirley Anne Field and Rachel Roberts. In the industrial streets and factories of Nottingham, Arthur Seaton (Albert Finney) spends his days at the factory bench, his evenings in the local pubs and his nights in the arms of Brenda, the wife of a fellow factory worker. Arthur is anti-authority and unashamedly amoral - indeed, he's the original 'angry young man.
