The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael
Directed by Thomas Clay
Produced by Boudu Films, Pull Back Camera Ltd.
A bleak, unflinching portrait of moral decay and youth violence in a small English town, driven by social alienation and the inexorable escalation toward transgression.
In a small English coastal town, three teenage boys are drawn into a world of temptation and violence. Bored, troubled and excluded, the boys are unable to accept or even recognise moral boundaries. Their actions move inexorably towards a truly shocking act, that will horrify their sleepy community and expose its deepest, hidden fears.
