THE WAR OF THE WORLDS: NEXT CENTURY // High-Brow/Low-Brow/Uni-Brow

dir: Piotr Szulkin - 1981 - 1 hr 37 min

The Martians have landed and they're not to be feared! Or at least that's what TV personality Iron Idem has been telling people. Soon after their arrival, though, his apartment is ransacked and his wife kidnapped. He's tagged like a wild animal and his nightly scripts are being changed. What Idem's eyes are seeing no longer matches what he tells his audeience every night. Are the Martians as good-natured as he believed or is he used in sinister plot that endangers the entire planet?

Piotr Szulkin's takes H.G Well's classic sci-fi innvasion story and twists it into a tense bizzarre, and surreal politcal allegory.

High-Brow/Low-Brow/Uni-Brow is a monthly film series programmed by Andrew Linn dedicated to exploring films from every corner of taste and seeing what they have to say with each otherz
