Wonderwall (1968)

No Quote for this film.

The movie gained an undeserved reputation for "never having been shown", because while it did have a Cannes premiere (winning an award), and other selected art-house showings in the late 1960s, no distribution deal was ever worked out, and the movie never had a wide release. (A low-quality print finally found its way onto the American midnight movie circuit, and later to home video.) The restored version got good reviews, and wider distribution, including a DVD release through Rhino Video.
The two poetic quotations that adorn the Professor's apartment are from two sources. The quotation above the "wonderwall" itself is from first two stanzas of the final section ("The Departure") of Alfred Lord Tennyson's "The Daydream", a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty Legend. The other is from near the beginning of "An End," by Christina Georgina Rossetti; this poem begins "Love, strong as death, is dead . . . "
The movie was digitally re-mastered and restored for its 30th anniversary. While the film footage was in reasonable shape, the optical soundtrack had degraded to the point where it was nearly unrecoverable. Director Joe Massot counted himself lucky they hadn't waited any longer than they had.
