This is very hard to get hold of. Really try. It's one of the greatest films ever made. Boorman won the award for Best Director at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival for the film.
Prince Leo (played by Marcello Mastroianni) is the exiled ruler from an unnamed country returns to his father's London town house on the edge of a ghetto. That's all you need to know... it's like the first 2 minutes of the film. Knowing anymore is "spoilers".
