The director and one of the stars of Heathers, the 80s teen cult classic, visited the BFI for the premiere of the film's 4K restoration.

Heathers stars Winona Ryder as Veronica Sawyer, the odd-one out in The Heathers, the colour-coordinated, shoulder-padded bitch squad at her high school. A certifiable genius and former good girl, she catches the eye of fellow high-school outsider and silver-tongued Lothario JD (Christian Slater). Together, they fantasise about ridding the world of main mean girl Heather Chandler (Walker), and the rest of the preppy bullies that dominate the school – but their fantasies start getting out of hand... Heathers is an endlessly quotable black comedy that subverted expectations of teen movies forever, and its dreamlike, soft-focus cinematography shines in this new 4K restoration.
