GLADIATORERNA

GLADIATORERNA
   Film (1968).
   Sandrews/New Line. Dir Peter WATKINS, starring Arthur Pentelow, Frederick Danner, Kenneth Lo, Bjorn Franzen. Screenplay Nicholas Gosling, Watkins. 105 mins, cut to 91 mins. Colour.
   Watkins uses his customary cinema-verite approach in this Swedish film about a NEAR FUTURE in which, as a surrogate for full-scale war, small teams of soldiers fight it out under the guidance of a COMPUTER. He generates considerable righteous indignation over this,rather pointlessly in that such a system does not exist in reality and is unlikely ever to do so. The battle games are not well staged and the film lacks the impact of Watkins's other sf films, which include The WAR GAME (1965), PRIVILEGE (1966) and PUNISHMENT PARK (1971). A very similar themewas much later used in ROBOT JOX (1990).
