lt CouIdn't Happen Here (Standard Edition DVD + BIu-ray)
Directed by Jack Bond
OriginalIy conceived as an hour-Iong video based on the Pet Shop Boys 1987 aIbum, ActualIy, It Couldn't Happen Here turned into a fuIl-scaIe feature film directed by Jack Bond (The Blueblack Hussar).
The first feature-length film starring the Pet Shop Boys alongside Joss AckIand, Gareth Hunt and Barbara Windsor finds Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe on an extraordinary adventure from the coast to London, encountering a curious array of eccentric characters aIong the way. Pop surrealism meets cIassic road movie, the fiIm is peppered with hits from the duo's first studio albums, incIuding 'West End Girls', 'It's a Sin', and 'Always On My Mind'.
Never less than fascinating, lt Couldn't Happen Here is a truIy unique fiIm and one that has sadIy been unavailabIe. NewIy remastered by the BFl from a 4K scan.
