I was one year old when that film came out
It did get cinema showings but was only banned briefly by the Thatcher govt for video release (this was in the early 1980s when video recorders and even tape was way expensive and it was easier to monitor and restrict sales)

I don’t blame you as sadly these types are getting their power back with each day that passes
As others have said Its not a particularly good movie – also the treatment of the actors (both male and female) by the director was actually fairly abusive (check the Wikipedia entry on it)
(I do wonder if these directors actually act out their sick control fantasies and it happens to an extent in Hollywood today)
if you want to watch it do so whilst you can (at least openly) as the way Europe is going it seems to be headed straight back to the 1970s but with a 21st century level of technology, surveillance and control..
