I believe this movie was recently shown at the Lincoln Center/Walter Reade series on recent British/UK films. They may have details or website, etc. Unfortuneately, I skipped it, as the other offerings were more enticing. While not on the subject, I have a ticket i might not be using for the NY Film Fest showing of "Julien Donkey-Boy" also showing at Lincoln Center/Walter Reade on Sept. 30 at 6:00.
