The interesting thing is that both films reflect the British society, one in the 60s and the other in the 90s @:-)
Victim finally came up to the top of my Netflix queue (added based on a recommendation in this thread) and I agree it was very good. So awful to think that 60 years ago in a country we consider progressive like the UK homosexuality was illegal and punishable by jail time. I definitely recommend this movie.
