New Blu-ray from Twilight Time
Rollerball takes place in the future, which means it’s scary and kind of depressing, with little hope for the survival of our culture. However, though Rollerball is well made, and its heart is in the right place, those who already question society’s obsession with sports and sports figures will find much to appreciate, while it won’t do much to persuade those who think differently to feel differently. The act of competition is too ingrained in humanity to ever rein in, so it’s always going to be a part of us, and will likely only become more prominent as time goes on. Rollerball‘s story is timeless (the awful awful awful remake from 2002, at least, proved that), and for as long as society overly glorifies sports, its message will always be relevant: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/blu/rollerball/
