shashank M @RT34696904 1d Sometimes great ideas need restraint, structure and maybe a second opinion to be delivered successfully. In a way that those ideas are not only realised by the artist but understood and digested by the audience. On the silver globe is one of those ideas. The director does a tremendous job of creating an atmosphere, a feeling but it did leave me thinking whether that lost footage would have helped the movie at all. There were moments where despite the visual treat I kept on hoping for it to move on just so I could make sense of what's going on. It's not lynchian in the way where you completely give up on a storyline in the favour of the dream-like surreal extravaganza but pointlessly it keeps a very loose grip on any kind of concrete plot. And in doing so, if you treat this movie any more than a beautiful painting that's telling a lose story open to as many interpretations as the viewers, you'd leave frustrated and slightly bored. Enjoy the visuals, have a coffee and be patient.

But that's more than one word. Only for the intellectually curious, patient, open-minded. See more g j @g.username 04/23/2024 Yeah... na. Despite some arresting visuals this is an overbloated and horribly pretentious snorefest. This would work much better as a series of indvidual vignettes, as its merit as a movie is severely hampered by its lack of a coherent plot.

There is no consistent through line or story. Just one disconnected scene after another. See more Jos C @RT01897390 03/13/2023 A unique aesthetic, sensory and emotional experience! A sublime masterpiece and absolutely not to be missed! See more IrateTyrant C @IrateTyrant 12/31/2022 Truly one of the best movies ever made This was one of the only movies I'll sit through these days over two hours, and it was totally worth it. From start to finish this movie brings sensationalism to new extremes. There is a voice-over narration which tells that one fifth of the movie is taken from a documentary, which happens to be mostly of subway tunnels and blur-vision scenery in what I'm assuming is the home country of Poland where it was shot. The scenes which it navigates are astounding and follow a group of astronauts from another planet who have colonized from Earth. The dialogue and monologues of the film are intriguing and supremely anecdotal and breathe life into the intense cinematography. There are scenes of robots from the future, and golf-cart-like rides through amazing landscapes which fuse the surreal experience of the film. The last scenes are blood-soaked, and many of the sequences which feature the alien "species" are insanely grotesque and imaginative. It's one of the best movies ever made, in my opinion.
