The final part of Lindsay Anderson’s everyman trilogy finds Malcolm McDowell’s Mick Travis now as a journalist investigating Dr. Millar, whose bizarre medical experiments have continued from O Lucky Man!
Britannia Hospital is a savage comedy and a unique, spiky fantasia that mixes politics, body-horror, and Carry On comedies. Derided upon its release, Britannia Hospital deserves to be reassessed as a stark social commentary on the political climate of Thatcher’s Britain.
