Sunday Bloody Sunday
Director: John Schlesinger
Actors: Peter Finch, Glenda Jackson, Murray Head
PlotThe story revolves around a love triangle in which a free-spirited bisexual artist simultaneously engages in romantic relationships with a middle-aged female recruitment consultant and a gay Jewish doctor. These two lovers, despite their awareness of each other's existence, accept this unconventional arrangement, driven by their profound affection for the charismatic artist. The narrative delves into their interactions, shedding light on their internal struggles, societal pressures, and the complexities of their intertwined emotions.
As the artist drifts between the two households, the three characters navigate through moments of intimacy, jealousy, and self-reflection. The woman, in her professional life, grapples with her increasing feelings of neglect and the silent longing for a deeper connection. The doctor, on the other hand, contemplates the implications of his quiet acceptance of the artist's divided attention, which conflicts with his desire for a more exclusive and fulfilling relationship. Through their experiences, each character confronts the broader questions of identity, love, and the search for personal happiness.
