Synopsis

"One of cinema's most stunning extravagances, and the most frightening art film you will ever see," says Film Comment''s Michael Atkinson about this banned science fiction epic by controversial director Andrej Zulawski. The Polish Ministry of Culture halted production on The Silver Globe in 1978, and until the fall of communism in 1986 when Zulawski completed the film, it remained both his best-known and least-seen work. In this surreal an d disturbing mix of Lord of the Flies and Dune, a group of space pioneers starts a colony on the moon. As the adults die off, the children revert to primitive forms, creating their own myths, deities, and social classes. Years later, a politician from earth arrives and--fulfilling the m oon people''s prophecy--is hailed as their great messiah. In Polish with English Andrzej Zulawski---Poland---1987---157 mins.

Transcendental tripe; meditative malarkey, sexual hypocrisy. Ridiculous narrative, over-emotive nonsensical dialogue, misspelled and grammatically incomprehensible captioning. What a slog. A few interesting costumes and visuals but not sufficient to warrant losing 2 1/2 hours of one's existence.
