Britannia Hospital
Will they ever recover...?
Directed by Lindsay Anderson
Produced by EMI Films
A caustic, surreal satire that weaponizes absurdity and chaos to skewer institutional corruption, class hierarchies, and social hypocrisy.
Britannia Hospital, an esteemed English institution, is marking its gala anniversary with a visit by the Queen Mother herself. But when investigative reporter Mick Travis arrives to cover the celebration, he finds the hospital under siege by striking workers, ruthless unions, violent demonstrators, racist aristocrats, an African cannibal dictator, and sinister human experiments.
