On the Silver Globe (1988) – The Greatest Sci-Fi Movie You’ve Never Seen

Описание: Ok, film lovers—this week, we’re diving deep into Andrzej Żuławski’s lost sci-fi epic, On the Silver Globe (1988). If you know Żuławski from his infamous psychological horror masterpiece Possession (1981), then you’re in for an even wilder ride.

A film so ambitious, surreal, and politically charged, it was shut down mid-production by the Polish government—only to be resurrected years later in an incomplete yet stunning form. Part existential space opera, part fever dream, On the Silver Globe is a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

In this episode, we explore:
🎥 The history of its troubled production and how censorship nearly erased it
🌍 The film’s mind-bending world-building and cosmic themes
🧠 How Żuławski blends philosophy, religion, and dystopian madness
📀 The best ways to watch it today, including Blu-ray releases and restorations
🎬 Where On the Silver Globe fits within Polish cinema, alongside films like
Walerian Borowczyk's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Miss Osbourne
(1981) and The Beast (1975)
