(1976) Giulio Brogi, Anna Karina, John Steiner, Anna Maria Gherardi, Ezio Marano. A castaway arrives on a strange island with high, rocky cliffs. He stumbles upon a futuristic set of buildings, which are fabulous in design and interior contents. Upon closer examination he discovers that everything is covered with dust—the buildings have been deserted for many years. Then strange things start happening. He begins to see young people, apparently pleasure-bent, dressed in 1920s attire. Oddly enough, none of them seem to take notice of their new castaway companion. The leader of the group, Morel, talks of his new invention. Soon the castaway finds himself in a nightmarish situation that defies rational explanation and questions the very reality of what is happening. This film is a tad slow in places, but it’s a very engaging film with great performances and it’s certainly one of the most unusual science fiction films we have ever offered. What little dialogue there is, is subtitled in English. Widescreen, beautiful color, from 35mm.
