On The Silver Globe presented by Geremy Jasper

On The Silver Globe is not only one of the greatest science and moral fiction movies ever made, it also presents a singular entropic catastrophe. In 1977, when filming was 80% complete, the Polish government ordered the production to be shut down, all the negatives be destroyed, and kicked the mad genius behind this lunatic creation myth (Andrzej Żuławski, Possession) out of Poland for a second time. Miraculously, 10 years later the original film reels were restored to bring us this story of civilization-sewing astronauts layered with fright wigs, face paint, abandoned buildings, primitive gore effects, jerry-rigged space-age technology, and wailing philosophical inquiry. Even out of time, even incomplete, "On The Silver Globe" endures and its beautiful power will never dim.
