Encyclopedia > Culloden (movie)

Culloden is a 1964 television film written and directed by Peter Watkins and originally broadcast by the BBC. It portrays the Jacobite uprising of 1745 and the Battle of Culloden. It was Watkins' first full-length film, and his first use of a pseudo-documentary technique in which actors portray historical characters as if they were being interviewed by filmmakers on the scene, in a style similar to contemporary war reporting.


In a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000, voted for by industry professionals, Culloden was placed 64th.
