Watch this: a total classic & very hard to get hold of! - Bliss review by AJ
Without fail the closing moments of this film have me in tears every time I watch it. I have loved this film since I first saw it in the late 80s. Whilst definitely dated in so many ways it is still clear it was way ahead of its time and the environmental and ethical issues it covers are even more pertinent today than ever they were back then... It's a very very dark comedy (and poignant love story (amongst other plot lines...), hold on in there through the first 30 minutes that are very weird indeed at times (sardines, very odd sibling relationships...) and you definitely won't regret it. The last 20 minutes or so are priceless.
