Description
Richard Ayoade's documentary, The Unfinished Harauld Hughes, is a fascinating exploration of the life and work of mid-century playwright Harauld Hughes. Ayoade's own uncanny resemblance to Hughes's photo sparked his interest in the author's writing, which is known for its terse, aggressive, and elliptical style. The documentary delves into the collapse of Hughes's final film, O Bedlam! O Bedlam!, and offers a unique insight into the mind of one of the most furious British writers of the 20th century.
