A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
Love this crazy movie!
Okay, but the AR computer screens near the beginning with the evolved future-text readout? From fucking 1974?
There was someone on that vfx team took Zardoz to a pinnacle of science fiction among the many b-movie valleys of that wild ride.
I just watched this movie based only on this still. No regrets
Is that really a movie still?
Yes, and it's magnificent.
I had seen it on TV back in the seventies. Then much later I bought the DVD and I was blown away by the amount of boobs on display. Damn prudes cut out all the good scenes.
Zardoz was shown for a movie night at my college. It was somehow a factor in a friend of mine getting laid, but I don't remember how that worked.
He came dressed in red speedos and knee high boots?
She wanted to find out if the penis was really evil.
Charlotte Rampling had me under a spell with her eyes, which had a weird otherworldly look.
@Preacher An absolute classic. I actually think it's pretty good, in its own weird way.
I saw it again recently, 10 years older than I was the first time I saw it.
I really came away from it feeling like it was a solid film this time.
And to think just 2 years prior he made Deliverance.
Holy shit, written, produced and directed by Charley Boorman's dad.
It’s so horribly awesome.
I've never seen or even heard of it, but that logo/font used for the movie name is awesome!
(if there's a proper name for it, please enlighten me)
I wrote an essay about this movie that made my professor want to watch it. I wonder if she ever did ...
So, its worth a watch then?
It's not a good film, but it's wacky in a 70s hippie-exploitation kind of way. If you start it, you'll get a sense pretty quickly of whether you have the patience or not.
EDIT: my essay was a response to film critics at the time and a re-evaluation of the film from a contemporary context; I didn't defend the film as much as I defended the lofty themes of the film, esp. as I feel we have become more cynical and pessimistic, and the idealism of the film (and of the film's cultural moment, more broadly) was maybe not as much of a bad thing as critics felt it was at the time. Though I did write this essay many years ago, so it's a fuzzy memory at this point.
Wacky with lots of boobs does feel right up my alley
boobs are indeed great 😆
Doze pants doe.
