 www.TheGline.com: DVD of the Week: (09-29-03): Brimstone & Treacle
That it was written by Dennis Potter only adds to the picture: Brimstone is a remake of a 1976 teleplay that turned out to be so unstomachable for TV that it was banned for over a decade (much as they suppressed Peter Watkins' equally incendiary The War Game).
When it was shot as a feature film, it lost none of its potency, even several years down the line, and today it's still gruesomely fascinating -- if for its approach to its nasty material as much as its unsettling story.
Brimstone and Treacle, however, was his first starring role, and in it he projects such easy evil and smoldering menace it's a miracle he didn't go on to be forever typecast as such characters.
