In best British tradition it does even manage a bit of exceedingly dark humour.
- davidwtbuxton 7y agoAlso Threads, from the same era, incredibly bleak depiction of British society in the aftermath of a nuclear attack. https://youtu.be/vgT4Y30DkaA https://youtu.be/vgT4Y30DkaA (For those who haven't seen it, it is grim, but gripping.)
- atombender 7y agoThe director, Mick Jackson, later made Threads [1], which is one of the bleakest, most depressing films ever made. Highly recommended, though not for the easily disturbed. It's filmed like a documentary, not too different from A Guide To Armageddon. He also made Connections [2] with James Burke, which is a fantastic documentary series about the history of science. (His later, very commercial Hollywood work is less interesting, though Steve Martin's L.A. Story is great.)
