- Synopsis:
- Unfairly neglected since its original low-key cinema run, 'Secret Friends' is the only feature to be written and directed by Dennis Potter. Made shortly after his hugely controversial mini-series Blackeyes, the film centres on a writer, played by Alan Bates (A Day in the Death of Joe Egg), who descends into a kind of madness during a train journey as memories, fantasies and psychotic visions collide.
