Secret Friends Blu-Ray

Secret Friends is the only feature film written and directed by Dennis Potter (Pennies from Heaven, The Singing Detective), and it has been unfairly overlooked since its theatrical release. Made shortly after his hugely controversial miniseries Blackeyes, the film is about a writer, played by Alan Bates (A Day in the Death of Joe Egg), who descends into a kind of madness during a train journey when memories, fantasies, and psychotic visions collide.
