Okay, but the AR computer screens near the beginning with the evolved future-text readout? From fucking 1974?
There was someone on that vfx team took Zardoz to a pinnacle of science fiction among the many b-movie valleys of that wild ride.
I just watched this movie based only on this still. No regrets
Is that really a movie still?
Yes, and it’s magnificent.
Gun good.
Penis bad.
Zardoz was shown for a movie night at my college. It was somehow a factor in a friend of mine getting laid, but I don’t remember how that worked.
He came dressed in red speedos and knee high boots?
She wanted to find out if the penis was really evil.
I had seen it on TV back in the seventies. Then much later I bought the DVD and I was blown away by the amount of boobs on display. Damn prudes cut out all the good scenes.
Charlotte Rampling had me under a spell with her eyes, which had a weird otherworldly look.
@Preacher An absolute classic. I actually think it’s pretty good, in its own weird way.
I saw it again recently, 10 years older than I was the first time I saw it.
I really came away from it feeling like it was a solid film this time.
And to think just 2 years prior he made Deliverance.
Holy shit, written, produced and directed by Charley Boorman’s dad.
THE GUN IS GOOD!
It’s so horribly awesome.
I’ve never seen or even heard of it, but that logo/font used for the movie name is awesome!
(if there’s a proper name for it, please enlighten me)
I wrote an essay about this movie that made my professor want to watch it. I wonder if she ever did …
So, its worth a watch then?
It’s not a good film, but it’s wacky in a 70s hippie-exploitation kind of way. If you start it, you’ll get a sense pretty quickly of whether you have the patience or not.
EDIT: my essay was a response to film critics at the time and a re-evaluation of the film from a contemporary context; I didn’t defend the film as much as I defended the lofty themes of the film, esp. as I feel we have become more cynical and pessimistic, and the idealism of the film (and of the film’s cultural moment, more broadly) was maybe not as much of a bad thing as critics felt it was at the time. Though I did write this essay many years ago, so it’s a fuzzy memory at this point.
Wacky with lots of boobs does feel right up my alley
boobs are indeed great 😆
Doze pants doe.
