Penned by Tennessee Williams (based on his play The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore) and starring the iconic dynamo powerhouse duo that is Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Boom! is a monstrous maniacal look at memory, identity and neuroticism.
Shot on the island of Sardinia, this cult favourite of such filmmakers as John Waters also features legendary playwright and composer Noel Coward as 'The Witch of Capri'!
Introduced by critic and historian Sally Christie.
