the best film introduction of all time. I'm now watching his film "Distant voices, still lives" just because his intro to this was so clever and insightful he must be a great director himself
Amazing, isn't it? Fruity, but deadly serious = hard combo. This broadcast was the first time I ever watched 2001, in 1989 BBC2 on a small colour portable. But after that introduction, I couldn't switch off.

Wow.
