Review of When the Wind Blows (1986) by Dan W — 17 Nov 2008
Works as a chilling companion piece to looking back at the old "Protect and Survive" leaflets and such. If you actually go back and look at that cold-war history, it's mad. They pretty much designed stuff to make things easier for the body clean up afterwards.
Anyway, nice animation, though a rather odd directorial decision with the mixing of live-action sets and footage and stuff.
It works in a similar way to those BBC4 radio dramas or monologues by that annoying guy who's name I forget. It's extremely British, but it's very endearing and yeah. Good.
Personal enjoyment: 7/10.
Actual quality as a film: 8/10.
