An iconic Julie Christie – who won an Oscar for her role – plays an insouciant model caught between two lovers in John Schlesinger’s classic 1965 satire. Full of stunning black-and-white images brought to new life in this crisp 4K restoration, Darling is a stylish, romantic time capsule of swinging London.
Model Diana (Christie) has the kind of beauty that unlocks all doors. Hitched to an unsophisticated young man her own age, she immediately dumps him when she meets TV reporter Robert (Dirk Bogarde). A succession of liaisons follow, culminating in marriage to an Italian prince… But even after achieving an international, jet-set celebrity, Diana is still in search of the true affection she craves.
“Julie Christie’s romantic satire of swinging 60s has a terrific punch” ★★★★ The Guardian
