Dir. John Boorman - 1974 - 105m
SPECIAL THANKS TO BUBONICON 56 SCI-FI FANTASY CONVENTION!
PRAISE BE TO ZARDOZ!
Between the Hollywood productions of Deliverance and Exorcist II: The Heretic, John Boorman embarked on one of the strangest films ever to come from a major studio.
The year is 2293. Society as we know it has broken down centuries ago with the Earth s population split into three classes: the Brutals, who work the land and are forbidden from reproducing; their overseers, the Executioners; and the highly civilised Eternals, who are protected from the outside world by a force-field. But when an Executioner, Zed (Sean Connery, light years from James Bond), smuggles himself into their isolated paradise, he risks unbalancing the system and threatening the status quo...
Photographed by Geoffrey Unsworth (2001: A Space Odyssey) and designed by Anthony Pratt (Excalibur), dystopian science-fiction has rarely looked so beautiful or been so odd as it appears in Zardoz.
"A sci-fi curio...a more gonzo version of Logan's Run - with Connery in thigh-high boots and a "Borat"-esque G-string - as a futuristic savage turned enforcer by the elites in power..." - Tom Meek, Cambridge Day
"Boorman's finest film is a wonderfully eccentric and visually exciting sci-fi quest." - Film4 Staff
Probably John Boorman's most underrated film-an impossibly ambitious and pretentious but also highly inventive, provocative, and visually striking SF adventure." - Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
