Stephen Frears's rereleased Prick up Your Ears (1987), adapted by Alan Bennett from John Lahr's biography of Joe Orton, embodies the wild spirit of the 1960s. Gary Oldman is uncannily accurate as Orton, Alfred Molina is unendearingly sad as his jealous lover Kenneth Halliwell, and there are lovely performances from Wallace Shawn as Lahr and Vanessa Redgrave as famed literary agent Peggy Ramsay.
