The Gold Diggers, starring Julie Christie and Colette Laffont, the ground-breaking first feature directed by Sally Potter (Orlando, The Tango Lesson), is released on DVD for the first time on 28 December. The release, which also includes five early works, coincides with a Sally Potter retrospective at BFI Southbank that runs throughout December.
One of the UK’s most innovative and original filmmakers, Sally Potter’s The Gold Diggers is a key film of early Eighties feminist cinema. Made with an all-woman crew, featuring stunning photography by Babette Magolte and a score by Lindsay Cooper, it embraces a radical and experimental narrative structure.
