Living Room (1978)

Overview

A film about people and the space in which they live. From country cottage to council flats, stately detached houses, railway arches and tiny bedsitters - this is a journey with the camera through living rooms of all sizes, designed in all kinds of taste. It's a journey, too, through the lives of the people who inhabit these rooms; a film producer who lives in an empty house with bare walls and floor, a young Gloucestershire couple who have filled every inch of space with mementoes of their life together, an artist's model whose walls are crammed with paintings of herself, an architect who lives in a bedsit one-and-a-half metres square. Couples, families and single people appear in this film, some happy and secure within their living space, others lonely, or simply alone.
