[REL] Warrendale (1967) [Canada]

Warrendale (1967)
Warrendale brewed up a storm of controversy when it first emerged in 1967. Canadian documentary filmmaker Allan King takes us within the walls of an institution for emotionally disturbed adolescents. It is the philosophy of Warrendale that the best therapy for the young charges is to allow them as much personal freedom as possible. Thus, the kids smoke, swear and discuss sex in the frankest terms. Though Warrendale was originally made for television, neither the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation nor London's BBC, appalled by the film's scatology and frighteningly detailed therapy sequences, wanted anything to do with this hot-potato property. King arranged for the film to be released theatrically; as a result, Warrendale shared the International Critics Prize (with Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up) at the Cannes Film Festival... and won Best Film of the year at the 1967 Canadian Film Awards.

Hmm, this film may be rare but I didn't find it too interesting. Actual therapy sessions weren't covered, perhaps because it would affect the patients or because of privacy concerns, so I don't really see the point other than to show that the patients weren't being mistreated. I felt more like a voyeur looking at an amputee ward just to see which legs were missing because even though I sympathized with the patients, I felt the filmmakers were just capitalizing on their plight to no real purpose. I have compassion for the mentally ill and their families but this film left me mostly unmoved.

This isn't an indictment on FLL's hard work in finding it - thanks FLL!
