Review of Britannia Hospital (1982) by Pavandeep S — 05 Sep 2007

What a film, the feeling I got of watching this film was of how long could it actually continue, I was stupefied. A zombie and a mob that was both leftist and revolutionary. It was out of this world, Lindsay Anderson continues to impress me.

This film really was brilliant. A satire and a parody and an attack on society as it was developing in Britain. The scum of the Earth, angered and distasteful rise up against a government, an attack on the way the world was developing, people left behind and a satire on the different individuals of British society.

It was honestly wicked, the camera, used a lot of long takes and povs and the story was really tight, like a boiling-pot at times.
