One of the earliest cosmic odysseys and science fiction superproductions, the film begins and ends with off-screen commentary by Żuławski on the failure of the film’s twelve-year-long production, left unfinished due to bureaucratic intervention. The film’s self-referential commentary, amazing costumes, hysterical and ecstatic cinematography and montage, and unforgettable performances, are all typical of Żuławski’s unique and shamanic film language. Introduced by Andrzej Żuławski and followed by Q&A.
