TOP OF THE HEAP d. Christopher St John, 1972 (04 JUL 18:10) / Part of IN THE BLACK FANTASTIC at BFI Southbank.

“Christopher St John’s Top of the Heap is the story of George Lattimer (played by the director himself), a tightly-wound Black cop struggling with his inner and outer demons. The film nods to Blaxploitation conventions, but it’s ultimately a more experimental, even existential work, focusing on Lattimer’s fears and fantasies – particularly his daydream of floating free from the mire and corruption of the everyday world as an astronaut.” (BFI)
