BFI Flipside presents

JOANNA (DVD + Blu-ray)
A Film by Michael Sarne

THE FLIPSIDE: rescuing weird and wonderful British films from obscurity and presenting them in new high-quality editions.

When 17-year-old Joanna comes to Swinging London, she meets a host of colourful characters (such as Lord Sanderson - Donald Sutherland), discovers the pleasures of casual sex, and falls in love with Gordon (Calvin Lockhart). That's when things get complicated.
