The Telephone

Ever dreamt of taking revenge on an unfaithful partner? The young woman in this film walks out on her boyfriend in style.

Cathryn Harrison (granddaughter of actor Rex Harrison) stars in this vignette in which a young woman enacts an imaginative revenge on her boyfriend for playing away. Director Chris Petit already had his first feature, Radio On (also on BFI Player), under his belt, and made this three-minute short to test a new super 16mm Kodak film stock to be used on Peter Greenaway’s upcoming feature The Draughtsman’s Contract.
