synopsis
"It's a very real film about two people trying to get through to each other," director Richard Lester (A Hard Day's Night) says of his landmark romance Petulia, set in summer-of-love-era San Francisco.
PETULIA - Starring Julie Christie Julie Christie plays a unhappily married socialite trying to get through to a recently divorced doctor (George C. Scott), who in his own words just wants to "feel something." He'll soon feel, even hurt, a lot. Because we know why kooky Petulia so desperately reaches out. As Lester zigzags through the flashbacks and flash-forwards of cinematographer Nicolas Roeg's startling images and Lawrence B. Marcus' knowing screenplay, Petulia's jigsaw pieces form a celluloid time capsule of life and love in the turbulent '60s.

Vertigo Magazine - laurence warder
“The existential turmoil and simple human need throbs from the screen. The captivating paralinguistic prowess of the lead characters drives the parade of flesh and frills, beautified and bloodied in turn...”
DVD Graveyard - laurence warder
“The leads are impressive in their roles transitioning with ease between what the audience initially perceives them to be exposing their inner emotionally stunted worlds of unfulfilled dreams”
