#Interstellar
Für mich einer der tollsten jemals produzierten Filme
Kein billiges Popcorn Kino, teils anstrengend zu verfolgen und jede einzelne Sekunde der knapp 3 Stunden wert.

ISeems the consensus on The Day the Sky Exploded (1958) is that the birth of Italian SF film was inauspicious (though fitting that it was another production ghost-directed by Mario Bava). I get why many find it dull, but I found it interesting, and there was a fair bit that I enjoyed, especially at the climax, where it achieves a real sense of doom on the ground, and of dark, poetic abstraction in space.

I really love how Italian SF films go full-on space opera, low budget be damned. Assignment: Outer Space (1960, aka Space Men) is Antonio Margheriti’s debut, and his strong visual sense is already very much on display. It may not be as deliriously inventive as Battle of the Worlds, but there’s plenty to love all the same, with a cavalcade of visual splendour.

There’s something about Unknown World (1961) that ticks the right boxes for me. It has since I first stumbled upon it while channel surfing years ago. I get why it has the reputation for being dull: it’s an hollow earth story with no monsters or lost civilzations (or really antagonists of any kind), a lot of it takes place in the rather banal interior of the “cyclotram,” and Terry Morse’s direction lies at the intersection of workmanlike and pedestrian.

I’d seen 10 minutes of footage from GOLD (1934) before, because it was used in THE MAGNETIC MONSTER (1953). What a treat, though, to see it in its original context.

FOUR SIDED TRIANGLE (1953) is Hammer’s first real foray into SF, and also sketches out concerns to come as it also returned to horror (for the first time since 1935). The film is more like a promise of what was to come than a fully successful atttempt, but it is worth seeing. More here: http://davidannandale.com/2022/11/21/four-sided-triangle-1953/
