The swinging sixties came to a bleakly comic end with Jerzy Skolimowski’s undeservedly obscure 1970 British-German coproduction, a strikingly original study of obsession that descends into disturbing psycho-drama. John Moulder-Brown plays a repressed, near-infantile teenage bathhouse attendant who nurses a bizarre fixation with his enigmatic co-worker. No surprise really, considering that co-worker is played by auburn-haired Jane Asher at her most mysteriously seductive. A favorite of director David Lynch, who said, “There’s never been a color movie I’ve freaked out about, except one, this thing called Deep End which had great art direction”.

    When my mom was fourteen, she cut her hair to look like Jane Asher (who at the time was Paul McCartney’s girlfriend).
