SYNOPSIS: Roger Lambert's Follow You Follow Me explores the developing friendship between two teenage boys in 1979 England.  Joseph, the son of a factory owner, is shy, and unsure about a lot of things in life.  Peter, who's own father works for Joseph's dad at the factory, is confident and cocky and knows his way around a girl's heart.  On on-going dispute at the factory suddenly begins to take it's toll on these best mates, and reveals their true feelings for each other.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  Oh the 70's and 80's and those short-shorts that leave nothing to the imagination!  This short piece of 70's cinema from the UK stars Francis Gilson as the strawberry-blonde (but leaning more towards a redhead), ultra naive Joseph, and Stephen Bratt as Peter.  Follow You Follow Me focuses on the often confused Joseph (who only just learns what wanking is) and his life as a puff (a homo, for those of you not familiar with UK slang).  Joe has it rough, not only do the suspicions of his classmates lead to ridicule and random beatings, but his father's on-going labor dispute with the factory workers is starting to affect his friendship with Peter.  Joe's father wants to sell his factory, possibly leaving 80 people unemployed, including Peter's father.  This puts a tremendous strain on the boys' blossoming relationship - which Joe gets upset about, but does Peter feel the same way?

Follow You Follow Me could have easily been a lot longer than 33 minutes, and I wish it was.  For the most part, the acting is brilliant and natural making it seem almost like a documentary.  Of course it's not perfect, but I have to give credit where credit is due!  If you liked Blue Jeans, you'll like this one.  Jolly good kudos to director Roger Lambert for making a film with sensitive subject matter in a conservative country - especially in 1979 (and yes, you're reading the "viewer discretion" right - it's not a typo, even for an English language short).
