Reviews for The War Game
There is nothing subtle about this documentary, no place for irony just shocking image after image to bring home the terror of war.
One of the most disturbing, overwhelming, and downright important films ever produced.
Nothing that you have heard or read can fully prepare you for Peter Watkins' 1965 faux documentary on the aftermath of a nuclear attack on Great Britain.
A startling and inflammatory plea against political indifference in all its forms
