If you like\n\n- the science fiction of Olaf Stapledon\n- the music of Jóhann Jóhannsson (who also directed)\n- the voice of Tilda Swinton\n- brutalist architecture\n- stately black-and-white cinematography on 16mm film stock\n\nthen I think you'll agree with me that this film is pretty darned great.\n\n  *\n\nLucas Moura ([@DrTeflon][]) - 2024-01-21 16:22\n\nThis movie is SO FREAKING GREAT\n\nFrank Hecker ([@hecker][]) - 2024-01-21 17:57\n\nIsn’t it though?!\n\nMightfo ([@Mightfo][]) - 2024-01-27 11:48\n\nIll check this out! Also, thanks for sharing the poetry as always!\n\nFrank Hecker ([@hecker][]) - 2024-01-28 18:00\n\nYou’re quite welcome! I’m glad you’re enjoying the Sunday night poetry series; it’s great fun to research and write.\n\n[@DrTeflon]: http://web.archive.org/web/20231126222920/https://cohost.org/DrTeflon\n[@hecker]: http://web.archive.org/web/20241219224313/https://cohost.org/hecker\n[@Mightfo]: http://web.archive.org/web/20241220042856/https://cohost.org/Mightfo",
