A dengorously prescient film from 40+ years ago that saw how television and the Western world would go.

A tour de force of actors going off a script written for the intellectual. It's not the most human dialogue but it is brilliant.

Without wanting to give spoilers, I will however comment on the legacy of this film. The one director working today who has adopted this style and ratcheted it up to 11 to my mind is Wes Anderson. The narrator, the craziness passed off with an earnestness reminds me much of his movies.

There is an earnest progression to destruction in this film that is brilliantly portrayed and strikes fear into your heart as you realise we have become exactly what was prophesied.

What a film this must have been in 1976. 40-odd years on I rate it an 8/10.
