The network condemned the finished film as 'too horrifying' and refused to broadcast it. Watkins' masterpiece subsequently received a special award at the 1966 Venice Film Festival and won the 1967 Academy Award® for Best Documentary Feature. The BBC would not air his 'chillingly different, enduringly brilliant' (The Guardian) classic until three decades later. 'What may be the most important film ever made' (The Observer) is now scanned in 4K from the original 16mm A\/B rolls for the first time ever, with more than 5½ of all-new Special Features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntroduction By Filmmaker Alex Cox\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCommentary By Film Critic Kim Newman And Filmmaker Sean Hogan\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInterview With Anne Davey Orr, Production Designer On CULLODEN And THE WAR GAME\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInterview With Peter Watkins Historian John Cook\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eVideo Essay By Dr. Alexandra Heller-Nicholas And Filmmaker Stephen Broomer\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTHE WAR GAME At Cine City - Featurette By Journalist Eric Veillette\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInterview With Julie McDowall, Author Of Attack Warning Red!
