Culloden achieves its effect through the glaringly anachronistic use of a TV crew, begging its spectator to ponder her position in relation to the historical events onscreen.

Reviews for Culloden
1 - 4 (sorted by date)
This is less a study of a horrible battle than it is a cry against war in any form.
08/08/06
Watkins continually questions why wars are fought, and what the soldiers believe, and what the authorities say, and whether these things add up.
07/25/06
The word "seminal" is often bandied about these days but it is accurate to say that Watkins's Culloden is truly a seminal work, which, in many ways, changed forever the way in which documentary and historical programmes were shot.
