Incident

About This Movie

Incident is a curious gem from director Norman J. Warren, captured in the atmospheric haze of the 1950s fairground. The film drips with a sense of nostalgia and longing, as it follows a girl meeting a boy under the flickering lights of Battersea Pleasure Gardens. The pacing is deliberately slow, inviting viewers to soak in the emotions and subtleties of their relationship. There's a rawness to the performances, almost like they’re unpolished, which adds to the film's authenticity. What stands out is how it balances light moments of joy with an underlying tension, a reflection of fleeting youth. It’s a piece that feels unfinished yet intriguing, leaving you pondering its themes long after it's over.
