Dick clement followed the success of his first feature otley with this wry adaptation of iris murdoch’s celebrated 1961 satirical novel, a harbinger of the sexual liberation that was to blossom in the mid 60s. A severed head chronicles the sexual and amoral escapades of a group of middle class, middle aged london couples, portrayed by a wonderful cast which includes ian holm alien, the lord of the rings, lee remick days of wine and roses, the omen, claire bloom the haunting, the king’s speech and richard attenborough 10 rillington place, young winston. Absurdist and delightfully funny, a severed head is a dark satire staged with wit and intelligence.
