ZARDOZ
John Boorman
Synopsis
In 2293, the world is divided between the immortal ‘Eternals’ and the mortal ‘Brutes’. The Brutes serve the Eternals. Cracks are appearing in the system when Zed, a brute, turns against his masters. Zardoz, a film from 1973 by John Boorman, is considered one of the strangest of the genre. We are far away from the science fiction B-movies of the fifties. Scifi films from the seventies often take the guise of a fable, zoom in on ecological dangers and warn against a cold world where violence threatens civilisation.
