In 1886 this film had such an impact on me, when I saw it at the age of 14, that I've never forgotten the sense of utter hopelessness or futility that it conveyed. It is without doubt one of the best films I've ever seen, it still has the power to haunt me, make me shiver, make me melancholy... And now almost 40 years later nothing has really changed, as a species, humanity still seem unable to exist without war. Watch the film & think of all the mad men still running around with their nukes & then watch Threads...& then get drunk & build that shelter...when the wind blows death follows slowly...
