Review of Zardoz (1974) by Erik G — 29 Oct 2010
Yes, I give this movie 5 stars. One of the most ambitious sf movies ever with details that would sustain whole other movies tossed off in an aside. It's an English pastoral 2001, a vision of humanity's collapse and rebirth.
It's also the ultimate 70s sci-fi film, with ecological collapse as its background. (Its score is quite intelligent too. Early music pioneer David Munrow took a bit of Beethoven's 7th and arranged it for different historical instruments beginning with voice in the start so that the Beethoven undergoes the entire evolution of Western classical music.
).
