When the Wind Blows (Dual Format Edition)

Zavvi

Jim and Hilda Bloggs (Sir John Mills and Dame Peggy Ashcroft) are a middle-aged couple, who believe that the British government is in control as they prepare for Nuclear War. When the countdown begins they roll up their shirtsleeves and follow government guidelines that were actually distributed to households around Britain in the 1970s. They paint their windows white, build a fortress of doors and pillows, take the washing in and put away two packets of ginger nuts, one tin of pineapple chunks and a good supply of tea.This cautionary tale is both humorous and macabre in its consideration of one of the most horrific possibilities of modern life. When the Wind Blows is a story about love, tenderness, humanity and hope. Adapted by Raymond Briggs (The Snowman) from his best-selling book, When the Wind Blows features an original soundtrack by Roger Waters, and a title song by David Bowie.Extras:Presented in High Definition and Standard DefinitionAudio commentary with first assistant editor Joe Fordham and film historian Nick RedmanJimmy Murakami: Non-Alien (2010, 73 mins): feature-length documentary about the film’s directorInterview with Raymond Briggs (2005, 14 mins)The Wind and the Bomb (1986, 20 mins): the making-of When the Wind BlowsProtect and Survive (1975, 51 mins): public information film about how to survive in the event of a nuclear attackIsolated music and effects trackFully illustrated booklet with a new introduction by Raymond Briggs, essays by Jez Stewart, Clare Kitson and Bella Todd and full film credits
