REVIEW

What can one really say about Zardoz. It must be truly experienced. Quiet possibly one of the most terrible and incoherent films ever made, it does seem to redeem itself by just how totally out there it truly is. John Boorman (Deliverence, Excalibur) brings you the adventures of Zed (played dashingly by a post Bond Sean Connery running around the entire film in a loin cloth.) A savage living in a future earth where society as split into two. A upper ruling class of humans who have evolved into psychic immortals that live in a subdiemnsion and the savages, a lower class of people living in a world of pain and suffering. As a good friend of mine once said, "you know this was the result of a night and 2 eight balls"

Rating: 8/10
