Deep Red Instant Love (1988) dir. Rik Lander

Come one, come all, and worship at the altar of Everett Lord, high priest of consumerism. Its a siren call for productobsessed Frank (David Thewlis), thrilled to bag a shelfstacking job at Superstore until he meets the subversive Anna, who sets him on a collision course with his new boss. Landers ribald treatment of shopping mall culture, with its poppromo texturing and ironic tone, anticipates the aesthetic qualities that would dominate early90s short filmmaking in the UK. Rik Lander was one half of 1980s scratch video duo the Duvet Brothers, best known for their work Blue Monday (1984), a pointedly political assembly of found footage set to New Orders groundbreaking electronic hit.
