On the Silver Globe

A group of cosmic explorers leaves Earth behind to find freedom and start a new civilization. When their spaceship crashes on an unknown planet and the original team dies, their children revert to a primitive native culture that will eventually evolve into a society divided into a numerous classes, waiting for the arrival of a messiah.

Βased on "The Lunar Trilogy" written by his uncle Jerzy Zulawski, Andrzej will embark on a labyrinthine allegorical saga oscillating between Andrei Tarkovsky's philosophical science fiction and Alejandro Jodorowsky's surrealist iconography.

Two years later, when 80% of the film was already shot, the Polish government interrupted this overambitious production under the pretext it was covert criticism of the communist regime. A decade later, the director will complete his vision replacing the missing scenes with his own narration, delivering what is considered the most phantasmagorical film in his entire career. Th.P.
