MY GENERATION Michael Caine Q&A - BFI London Film Festival 2017
The Swinging sixties narrated and presented by Michael Caine himself and featuring an era-defining soundtrack. The BFI's Kate Taylor was joined for an in-depth Q&A session by director David Batty and Sir Michael Caine who presents and narrates the documentary.
My Generation playfully explores the impact of Britain's working class cultural revolution in the 1960s. Attitudes were changing and everything seemed possible. A wealth of archive footage, contributors including Marianne Faithfull, Paul McCartney, Twiggy, David Bailey and Mary Quant, and a spot-on soundtrack from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Who make for an exhilarating journey back in time. Caine is a delightful host and raconteur, sharing priceless anecdotes from the beginning of his career. And throughout this film, which was written by British TV legends Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, there are wonderful moments that capture the energy, style, fashion and sheer exuberance of that era.
