Director John Schlesinger's era-defining swinging '60s British drama Darling turns 60 this year and returns to cinemas in a new 4K restoration. The film stars Julie Christie in a BAFTA-winning star-making performance as Diana Scott, a bed-hopping model forced to question her lifestyle when she finds herself torn between an assortment of male suitors.
Darling is in UK/ROI cinemas from May 30th, followed by a 4K UHD and bluray release on June 16th.
Check out the new trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
DARLING is the story of a good-time girl of the era. Diana Scott (Julie Christie) is a young model who moves from bed to bed on the presumption that fidelity means having only one man in it at a time, and opportunistically bends her ambitions to take advantage of whatever (or whoever) the moment offers her. There are three men in her life, each of whom willingly or involuntarily helps her on her way to the top: Dirk Bogarde plays Robert Gold a TV interviewer, an honest man striving to tell illusion from reality; Laurence Harvey, an advertising executive, totally cynical about manipulating society’s values; and Roland Curram, a gay magazine photographer battening parasitically on glossy society. There is also a ‘fourth man’ – the one whom Darling marries, only to find herself a prisoner of the jet-set world she has conquered.
