british film institute of london south bank to talk to its director independent spirit award winner michael leman. previews it is me. michael thanks for being on going underground thirty years since this film i'm going to was what you think of heather's thirty years old i can't believe anybody still watching this movie thirty years on it's very strange to look at it now and say oh my god those were teenagers thirty years ago. but i think that i think what we were talking about in the movie and what we were addressing in our own bizarre humorous way is still relevant to a modern audience and the movie i think holds up more than i would have ever expected and i want to get into some of the themes of the secular but in britain we had frank clucks he wrote letters to brezhnev with some bleak films about what it was like in the eighty's deregulation of financial dealings happening at the same time as this you have the breakfast club but all those on the joint news films and so on but this film is considerably dog while being humorous yeah my friends and i all of us making heathers we we like john hugh
