It is one of those ultimate “Swinging London” films, up there with ‘Blow Up’! It’s a trippy 60’s period piece about voyeurism & fascination all set to a background of pretty swirling colours, long-hair fabulousness, frolicking in a psychedelic wonderland!

The film was premiered at Cannes Film Festival in 1968. It features Jane Birkin, Anita Pallenberg, music score by George Harrison and art-direction & décor by the Dutch collective, The Fool.

Simone Postuma was the painter and Marijke Koger was the graphic artist, while Josje Leeger designed and made clothes, including several of Jane Birkin’s costumes – The Fool are the dream team behind Apple Boutique (read about them here!).

PS: You may have guessed it, but the name of the film is the main inspiration behind Oasis’s hit song, Wonderwall, from 1995.
