But Also.This indispensible two-disc collection finally brings together many of Lacey's rarely-seen films for the very first time, showcasing the rich and diverse talents of a seminal and thoroughly original British artist-filmmaker.Includes: The Running, Jumping & Standing Still Film (Richard Lester, 1960), The Lacey Rituals (1973) and much more.
