Gunnera

Shot on a single summer night in a Norfolk garden, Gunnera is a self-indulgent and self-consciously camp little number. About that time, you could buy in the newsagents a rather handsomely photographed, glossy, fortnightly, soft porn magazine in full colour called Zeta. Each number recounted the unlikely misadventures of scantily clad models threatened with fates worse than death. One of our two Gunnera girls featured quite often in Zeta. And that was where the ‘concept’ (!) for the film came from. The sound track, of course, is from Pink Floyd’s Umma Gumma. As Frank Zappa might have said : ‘Flora ! Fauna ! … You wanna ?…’
