Zardoz (1974, Dir. John Boorman)

Sean Connery in a red loincloth. Floating stone heads. Eternal life. Philosophy. Chaos.
Zardoz is the weirdest dystopian film ever made — a post-apocalyptic fever dream about class, mortality, and the meaning of civilization.
Ridiculous and profound in equal measure, it’s the cinematic equivalent of reading Nietzsche while watching a parade of absurd costumes.
People laughed at it in the ’70s. Now it feels prophetic.
