Peter Watkin's PUNISHMENT PARK was shown in Edinburgh yesterday as part of the CULT! weekend. It's George Romero-esque look and Reality TV type almost Dogme style proves once again that nothing new and purportedly original is what it seems. The "talk of the Steamie" afterwards seemed to revolve around "do you think that was THE Michael Moore that did the sound?" but maybe that was a reflex action to have watched something so relevant to where we find ourselves in 2004. Any budding Exploitationer wanna remake it and retitle it GUANTANAMO? Anyway, hit the link there and you'll find a better write-up on it than I could ever attempt.
