On the Silver Globe (1988)

One of the greatest science and moral fiction movies ever made.

It’s among the most visually extravagant films ever made.

It becomes a bleak comic spit into the face of organized religion, organized society, and even organized narrative.

A certain amount of work is required to stitch together a sense of the plot, but as is often the case in Zulawski’s films, the story is less the point than an excuse, a loose temporal conceit holding together flights of visual invention, verbal extravagance and male and female nudity.
