Castaway (Nicolas Roeg, 1986), 10.15pm, Talking Pictures

Nicolas Roeg’s film, Castaway, made in 1986, is unlikely to be produced in its original form in today’s world. The movie has gained a peculiar reputation. The plot is based on the true story of Lucy Irvine, who spent a year on a remote Pacific island with a stranger. Initially, it may seem that the main purpose of the movie is to constantly showcase Amanda Donohoe (as Lucy) without clothes. The marketing also heavily emphasized this aspect, with one poster even featuring a large painting of a buttock. However, beneath the surface, the movie portrays a disturbing character in Lucy’s cohabiting partner, Gerald, portrayed by Oliver Reed. Stuart Heritage
