(1968) Emil Horvath, Magda Vasarykova, Frantisek Filipovsky. The fourth of Karel Zeman’s Verne films is a voyage into fantastic visual wizardry. Adapted from Verne’s Hector Servadac, it recounts how a massive chunk of Earth becomes a comet, soaring across space with all of the area’s populace still on it. It drifts into a collision course with Earth! Shot in a strange combination of color and sepia tone, it is a true visual delight! Color, from 16mm.
