Saving...
Description
(1968) Brian Cox, Leonard Rossiter, Suzanne Neve, Tony Vogel. Bizarre drama about Earth in the distant future. Overpopulation is a big problem so television has been filled with gluttony and porno programs in order to put people off food and sex. It is also the year of the Sex Olympics. However, when TV ratings fail, a reality-based show is introduced in which a real-life couple is deposited on a remote island with no modern conveniences. Considering this was a British TV feature, itÕs amazing to see nudity and gore. Intriguing subplots make this a most unique piece of filmmaking. From a b/w kinescope.

This is a movie i thought i would never see..I had heard rumours of its existence decades ago.It should be watched by every film student,video maker,and anyone who works in media of any kind…You will find yourself
wrapped up in the story..It was written by Nigel Kneale a British writer who also wrote THE STONE TAPE and was very prominent as a writer whose stories were turned into movies(put his name in a search engine to find out more). THE YEAR OF THE SEX OLYMPICS fortells, Reality television,its consequences…and how it can be a government propaganda tool.It predicts the future in which people don’t go outside their homes but spend their time mainly staring at the television screen….and although sex is around, future people find it… boring…and it is violence that gets them laughing …You see in the future(read almost now) empathy is lacking..sound familar?
