Castaway (Nicolas Roeg, 1986), 10.15pm, Talking Pictures
A film that almost certainly couldn’t be made in its original form today, Nicolas Roeg’s 1986 movie Castaway has earned an odd reputation. At first, the plot – based on Lucy Irvine’s real-life tale of spending a year with a stranger on an isolated Pacific island – seems the thinnest possible excuse to show Amanda Donohoe (as Lucy) in a constant state of undress. And though the marketing really leaned into this (one poster was basically a giant painting of a bum), below the surface lies a curdled portrait of a desperate bully in Lucy’s cohabitee, Gerald, played by Oliver Reed.
