The Models Trilogy

Richard Ayoade edits and introduces this defining work of the great midcentury visionary of stage and screen -- rediscovered and republished by Faber & Faber. This volume of Harauld Hughes's first three screenplays includes a preface by the author, as well as new critical appreciations by Richard Ayoade, Chloë Clifton-Wright and his current widow, Lady Virginia Lovilocke. THE SWINGING MODELS The film that started it all: Hughes's searing indictment of the bikini business's (literal) underbelly. THE ESPECIALLY WAYWARD GIRL A new student discovers her classmates have a thirst for human blood, which makes it hard to focus on the syllabus. THE MODEL AND THE ROCKER A dream collage of catwalks, crispy beats and crustaceans takes shape in this - one of Hughes's most confusing narratives.
