| User ReviewDavid YA tableau of nightmares, this deeply disturbing work of art illuminates the catastrophe buried within every act of human defiance. As desperation thickens and solidifies, to become just as oppressive as the never-yielding walls and ceilings, the few men who rage against the (literal) dying of the light face the most unimaginable future. Yet they choose to face it. In such a situation, the character of Peter Sellers - with his flour and his memories - takes the properly heroic path. |
| User ReviewDale MOne of the most depressing films I have ever seen!- Peter Sellers is excellent as Roquet- It is a shame that the film finishes when the candles run out- less than half way through their ordeal. This film differs from the original book |
| User ReviewA.D. LPeter Sellers, this is a film that i hope will be found by more film enthusiast and realize what a gem it is. |
