Ep# 57 - Gabriele Caroti's 60s Pick - Bronco Bullfrog

Joining Cinema60 for this episode is Gabriele Caroti, former director of BAMcinematek and founder of film distribution company Seventy Seven. This month Seventy Seven is releasing into theaters the 2K restoration of Barney Platts-Mills’ Bronco Bullfrog, a gritty but delightful piece of British kitchen sink realism, originally released in 1970, set against the backdrop of the working class teens in East London.

In this episode, Gabriele speaks to Bart and Jenna about the labor of love that went into getting this underappreciated film into repertory cinemas across the country, and they oblige him by grilling him on its production history and enduring cult fandom. Topics of discussion include suedeheads, the band Audience, Princess Anne, young love, teenage boredom, electric blankets, time travel, bringing movies to the people and more. It’s a lively discussion of a lost classic ‘60s youth culture film with a fella who’s making old movies new again.
