Quote:
An overflowing Sci Fi Opera as well as a nightmare about a society totally lost in consumption.
In the center of the action, a resistant woman fights against this system when her partner seems to disappear in a monsterous machine, that was chosen by the director as a metaphor for the ultimate consequences of TV as well as for the entertainment industry.
Helma Sanders-Brahms put a lot of her own experiences into the plot.

Definitely worth looking! This movie presents highlights of Domanovic’s stories, Nusic’s dramas and a lot of original humor, all rolled into great, but not widely known film. However, it has the same fate as other non-low-minded and non-sexual-humor movies which is to be misunderstood by majority of the people who have seen it, or to be more precise, just throw a glance on it. Lazar Ristovski is playing a role of story guide, stranger finding himself in a country that should be his fatherland, but is to the most bizarre boundaries spoiled and ruined by actual government.

Mind control. Advances of modern science have removed it from the realm of the mystical into the all too probable. What happens when science loses control is the subject of The Terminal Man, based on a novel by Michael Crichton and written for the screen and directed by Mike Hodges. Computer scientist Harry Benson has experimental brain surgery to end his potentially dangerous seizures. Electrodes are attached with 40 terminals to his brain to counteract his violent impulses. But there’s no escaping his own mind. The experiment backfires and the seizures return … with a terminal vengeance. Hooking into this visionary tale will unnerve you. But the truth behind its hallucinatory horrors will fascinate and stimulate you.Read More »

This is unimaginable today, but on Saturday 16 January 1982, BBC2 showed an ultra-obscure subtitled Czech film in an early enough slot (9.35pm) to garner a decent-sized audience – “decent-sized” equating to “many times larger than BBC4’s wildest dreams”, given that Britain had only three television channels at the time (for the record, it was up against Match of the Day on BBC1, and the small-screen premiere of Capricorn One on ITV, a somewhat sci-fi heavy night).
