“What’s it all about, Alfie?”
The famous line from the film’s theme song poses an existential question that lies at the heart of Alfie. The swinging sixties and the start of the sexual revolution are personified in Michael Caine as Alfie, and under the guise of a comedy, we are given an honest glimpse into the highs and lows of such a life and the consequences that follow.
A film that couldn’t be made today (although attempted in 2004 with Jude Law playing the lead role) yet timeless in its portrayal of humanity and life, Alfie is a film that will always be relevant and is not to be missed!
