1960s Soho: a world where homosexuality is illegal, gossip spreads through whispered conversations, and compromising photographs circulate in anonymous envelopes. Enter Melville Farr (Dirk Bogarde), a top barrister who is drawn into a murder enquiry involving a former acquaintance, putting his career on the line as he refuses to be a victim of blackmailing. Reissued as part of the BFI’s Gross Indecency season, Victim is a bold and frank account of LGBT issues in ‘60s Britain that still resonates today.
