Imagine Laurel and Hardy in a western directed by Jim Jarmusch and you will still not be able to fully describe this movie.
A pure example of how great independent
cinema can be, and one of the most cinematically luscious films shot in B&W
and on 35mm.
Space is a lonely town. Samuel Curtis, an interplanetary trader, sets forth
through a rustic and remote solar system, unaware that his old friend Professor
Hess is trying to kill him.
Like much of the science fiction of the last century its sees the universe
as consisting of a series of 'themed' worlds. Venus is inhabited solely by
Southern Belles; Saturn by lonely miners; and there's a bar with an all-male
dancing contest in the asteroid belt.
Samuel Curtis has to take The Boy Who Once Saw A Woman's Breast and exchange
him for a corpse, which he can then take back to Earth, along with the stinking
hydraulic gimp that he picks up along the way.
‘An avant-rock musical staged on the set of a Poverty Row noir’,
Cory McAbee's film (with music by his band the Billy Nayer Show) is an utterly
unique experience and possibly the most delightfully idiosyncratic science
fiction movie since John Carpenter's Dark Star.
The was the first movie screened
at the first
SCI-FI-LONDON – ‘didn't I tell you… it's my birthday.’
