Credits - Production Details

We've already mentioned the brilliance of Oscar winning make up and hair designer Peter King and his cheeky cameo as one of Cecil's Sombrero friends. Like Sandy Powell, he used his memories of being a teenager during the glam 70s to inspire the film. Here is a quote from him: The '70's were all about image and you have to be quite precise to recreate a period not long gone as everyone has an idea of what it looked like. You have to research the whole period rather than just the make-up so you know exactly what the influences were. It was much more complicated than doing a normal period film. I instructed [my team] to just chuck the make-up around and when they thought they'd put on enough, to put on more. We couldn't get enough on the actors. So much of it is about blanking out the face and reinventing it. To be able to push the look that far was a dream, we just went for it.
