season of the witchy
A Year in the Country on a curious if compact patch of film in the late Sixties at the intersection of horror, bucolica, psychedelia and "high fashion" - images and text in part extracted from the book Wandering Through Spectral Fields
Touchables is the one I really want to see - especially given that the script was by Donald Cammell
"It is a very modish tale of a group of stylish sixties women who live in a huge see-through plastic bubble in the middle of the countryside who kidnap a pop star as “a temporary solution to the leisure problem” and in order make him their plaything"
Nirvana here rewriting their hit "Rainbow Chaser" nicely

Blimey, The Touchables looks amazing! The screenplay is by Ian la Frenais of all people.
It's making me think of Angela Carter - 'The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman', 1972. A novel not a film, of course, but the world and the fashions described were of this ilk, iirc.
