When James Caan ruled the world

Under discussion:

Rollerball  (1988)

This is part of my schoolday memories...

A must see film back then...

 I made many pencil drawings of James Caan in "Rollerball" pose...

I found it strangely thin on revisiting..this was ,of course a very seventies future dystopia,with all in one suits, Nerhu collars ,computers that know everything,World Corporate Government and all that.

 The violence is quite nasty and visceral,no guns ...

Great visually,with good use of location.

John Houseman is  very good as the top bod.

 Sudents of graphic design will recognise that "Rollerball" font as "Countdown"...
