Britannia Hospital (Blu-ray) (Import)

The concluding instalment in Lindsay Anderson’s Mick Travis trilogy, following If.... and O Lucky Man!, Britannia Hospital finds the filmmaker casting a sourly satirical eye over Thatcher’s Britain. With a phenomenal cast at his disposal – everyone from Alan Bates (Georgy Girl) and Joan Plowright (Time Without Pity) to Robin Askwith (Confessions of a Window Cleaner) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars) to Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) reprising the role of Travis – Anderson trains his sights on royalty, trade unions, the media, and scientific research in typically uncompromising fashion.INDICATOR STANDARD EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES High Definition remasterOriginal mono audioThe BEHP Interview with Lindsay Anderson (1991, 117 mins): archival audio recording, made as part of the British Entertainment History Project, featuring the celebrated director in conversation with Alan Lawson and Norman Swallow Healthy Reputation (2020, 21 mins): actor Robin Askwith fondly reflects on his films and friendship with AndersonBiles Apart (2020, 9 mins): actor Brian Pettifer recalls his close working relationship with AndersonA Cut Above (2020, 11 mins): editor Michael Ellis discusses the film’s productionImage gallery: publicity and promotional materialOriginal theatrical trailerOriginal teaser trailerNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
