You’Re Human Like the Rest of Them: The Collected Films of B.S. Johnson

Synopsis

Best known for groundbreaking novels such as "The Unfortunates" and "Christy Malry’s Own Double-Entry", B.S. Johnson was also the director of a number of films that have been out of circulation for decades. This collection brings these rare and fascinating works together for the first time, revealing Johnson to have been as radical and inventive a filmmaker as he was a writer. The set includes new HD transfers of such films as PARADIGM and Johnson’s last film, FAT MAN ON A BEACH, and also features the newly-rediscovered BBC adaptation of Johnson’s play NOT COUNTING THE SAVAGES (1972), directed by Mike Newell.
