Charles Atlas, Hail the New Puritan, 1985–6, 84 min

A vivid invocation of the studied decadence of the 1980s post-punk London subculture, Hail the New Puritan is an exuberant and witty day-in-the-life ‘docufantasy’ starring the British dance celebrity Michael Clark and punk drag legend Leigh Bowery.
