Review of Zardoz (1974) by Brett W — 08 Aug 2010
I always thought of Zardoz as Barry Lyndon seen through the eyes of someone on a super-acid-freakout. Or maybe it's just Godspell during a bad trip. I dunno. I dislike this movie with a pure and holy passion, which is kind of strange considering the sort of sci-fi/fantasy cheese I enjoy on a regular basis. This though, this, it's a Monty Python film that Eric Idle and crew forgot to show up for. Anyway, if you enjoy watching any of the following things then you may enjoy this film...good luck to you;.
- smarmy British folk in fruity costumes prancing around the English countryside (which is haphazardly strewn with crap as to make it appear "futuristic").
- Charlotte "Ice Queen" Rumpling talking about auto-erotica and other unpleasant details regarding Sean Connery's junk.
- Sean Connery in a red diaper.
- Films that feel like they're five hours long.
