Based on the novel by Karel Capek, the prominent Czech writer of the early 20th century who coined the word robot for his play R.U.R., the story revolves around a discovery of Krakatit - a powerful explosive - by Prokop, an experimental scientist who, following an accidental explosion in his lab, slips in and out of delirium. When he realises that, in a delirious period, he has given the formula for making Krakatit to one of his colleagues, he tries to find the man, who does not realize how dangerous a thing Krakatit is. In the process, he nearly gives his discovery away again to foreign interests, a group of anarchists, and even greater forces of darkness...
Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.

米哈伊尔·阿法纳西耶维奇·布尔加科夫1891年生于基辅，1940年逝世于莫斯科。世界文坛称他是一位思想深邃、以大无畏精神向一切邪恶挑战的文学大师。其代表作《狗心》、《白卫军》、《大师和玛格丽特》等曾被苏联当局查禁没收，或“默杀”。作家死后恢复名誉、苏联文坛两度掀起“布尔加科夫热”。现在他的作品进入现代经典之列，被誉为20世纪最伟大的文学珍品之一。
《狗心》作于一九二五年初，在文学圈子里获得一致好评，人们发现它确实尖锐地抨击了现实，但它抨击的是现实中的粗野、愚昧和荒廖。小说写一条狗因为做了人的脑垂体移植手术，突然成了有人外表的流氓，致使流氓习气随着脑垂体分泌的激素，渗入了取名沙里科夫的实验室怪物的每个细胞。沙里科夫的可怕不公在于他身上那些流氓无产者的劣性，并且在于他对社会主义的庸俗化.表面上看来，《狗心》很像一个科幻故事，但是实际上却有着反乌托邦小说的关于哲理和社会的深邃思考。
国际知名的医生菲利普·普列奥布拉任斯基教授，为了进行改善人种的优生学试验，把一个刚刚死去的行窃的酒鬼的脑垂体和睾丸移到一只叫沙里克的狗身上。沙里克竟变成了“还处于最低发展阶段的”人——沙里科夫。
这个能讲人言、衣食如人的衣冠禽兽，一天天显示出是一个怀着“一颗最为卑鄙龌龊的心”的败类：酗酒、偷窃、说谎、告密、无耻下流，直至栽脏陷害、用手枪威胁要强占教授的住宅。更有意味的是，这个狗“出身”的沙里科夫竟然被政府赏识而任命为莫斯科公共卫生局清除流窜动物科科长。他穿上了皮夹克(这是当时文学作品里革命者的形象模式)，出入有专车——尽管是卡车。幸而两位“造物主”普列奥布拉任斯基教授和博尔缅塔尔大夫及时用手术把沙里科夫还原为沙里克，才没酿成惨祸。
在这篇小说里，布尔加科夫力究天人之际，思考着人与自然、人与社会的关系、人的能力限度以及人对于整个自然界的责任。实际上，布尔加科夫继续阐释着一个重大的主题：人不应该僭越，不应该觊觎全能的上帝的位置。这个上帝便是自然、社会的客观法则。试图超越社会、自然的进程，把科学变为破坏客观规律的迷信，狂热蛮干地“创造历史”，是不能不受到惩罚的。正如小说《不祥之蛋》中，佩尔西科夫教授虽然掌握了科学，却缺乏对人类社会的责任感，最后死于疯狂的群众的乱拳之下；而给人类社会带来可怖的厄运的洛克，急功近利而智力低下到根本谈不上什么责任感问题，却“带着官家的公文”，则是更为可怕的。
而在《狗心》中，国际首屈一指的名医菲利普·普列奥布拉任斯基教授空前绝后的完美手术只能创造出险些置其于死地的社会败类。普列奥布拉任斯基教授经受了自作自受的“科学实验”之后，终于觉悟道：“看吧，如果一个研究者不是摸着大自然的脉搏，与之共进，而是想加速问题的解决，揭开那神秘的帷幕，那么，就给你个沙里科夫尝尝，还让你吃不了兜着走。”
看来，人要充当上帝——造物主的角色，结果只能是对上帝的讽刺性模拟。干扰世界的客观进程最终只能落得搬起石头砸自己的脚的下场。
In a dream Uncle Jack looks through a magic telescope owned by the ghost of a hermit and sees what life was like millions of years ago, including a battle between prehistoric monsters.
《通向行星路》的制作期长达三年，它是一部雄心勃勃的意识形态电影，包含着极具开创性的特效和精湛的手工模型作品。这部影片对库布里克《2001太空漫游》（2001：A Space Odyssey，1969）中对失重状态、灼热的星球和旋转式的太空站模型的在现实主义描写有着重要影响。
Klushantsev的《通向行星路》捕捉到了太空竞争的时代思潮。按照莫斯科电影官僚的指示，他在影片中增加了苏联第一个绕地卫星的模型。结果，这部五十分钟电影在苏联激起了观众的恐慌。据报道，电影片段在美国电视播放时，有些观众恐慌得晕厥过去。
这使得他随后的影片也是他唯一一部标准长片——1962年的《暴风雨之星》让人有点失望。这部影片是这一时期苏联科幻电影知名度较高的一部，故事由一队到金星探索的苏联航天员展开，队伍中有四个男人，一个女孩，还有一个笨重的机器人（这个机器人很明显是效仿了米高梅影片《禁忌星球》（Forbidden Planet，1956）中的机器人角色）。当两个宇宙飞船被流星摧毁时，这一队人被迫在星球表面下降着陆。他们一着陆就遇到恶毒的蜥蜴人，掠夺性的翼龙和食人的植物，而最后，他们得以逃离，回到太空中。
The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.
The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.

◎简 介
1976年戛纳正式竞赛片,想象力令世人震惊.
帕维尔.祖拉契克,捷克新浪潮电影运动中的天才导演,被誉为"捷克新浪潮电影革命中真正的灵魂",做为整个东欧电影新生运动中最独特的剧作家之一,他创作了好几部在捷克东欧电影史上占有重要地位的影片.
黑白电影“The End of August at the Hotel Ozone”出品于1967年。它是编剧Pavel Juracek和导演Jan Schmidt合作的第二部作品，这两人是可以代表上世纪60年代捷克电影新浪潮流派的两位天才。
在当时的东欧，一些有政治报复的电影人希望通过银幕来唤醒人们对极权的认知和反抗，但囿于体制壁垒难以使用现实主义体裁，于是拍出了大量科幻、童话、象征或神秘主义电影。Juracek和Schmidt正是属于这一阵营。
故事开始于一场几乎毁掉全人类的战争之后，山野里出现由一个老妇带领的八个年轻姑娘，她们一路跋涉，寻找食物和或许还活着的男人，希望成为“新世界之母”。
当时东西方核储备竞争造成的末世恐慌是这部电影想当然的象征物，却不像其它多数末世电影般先给出一片荒土和废墟的影像，并将角色披上盔甲、戴上面罩，塑造得如机器人一般——在“The End of August at the Hotel Ozone”里，大地一片盎然生机，植物在疯长，到处都是动物，片中的八位姑娘个个也健康丰满、强壮矫健。她们就这样生活在饱和到几乎溢出来的自然之中，只是见不到人，祖先留给她们的是枪弹、炸药和汽油。
影片强调她们是因懂事前就脱离了社会与文明，于是不再具备某些被公认的“人性”。片中有一些很残酷的镜头——动物保护主义者一定难以忍受——譬如像一群狼一样把一头奶牛剖开、用枪托砸碎一只一直渴望跟随她们的狗的脑袋等等。经历过文明的老妇教会她们怎样使用语言、文字、杯子和枪，但没有办法使她们成为文明人，因为她们失去了社会。
影片后半部里他们遇到了一个孤独活在农场里的老人，从他那里见识了诸多文明的遗迹，譬如一台再也放不出的电视、一张旧报纸和一架械动留声机，她们只对留声机感兴趣——这里电影似乎在暗示：音乐与文明之间并非有必然的联系。
最终老妇因病去世，姑娘们冷漠地准备抛下农场老人离开，并要带走那架动留声机，老人豁然明白她们不懂感恩、毫无人情，他被姑娘们枪杀了。
电影里有太多的象征与隐喻，每个人都可以给出自己的解释。另外，其黑白影像细节锐利而构图绝妙，从远景到人物脸部特写的镜头切换干净果断、了无痕迹。无论从内涵还是美学来估判，这都是部深刻的经典之作。
其实，上文中提到的那些极权下勇于政治干涉的电影人，他们中的一些在革命者和艺术家两种角色之间终于晃晕了脑袋。本来，他们是不得不用一些象征、意象、解构的方式来呈现其主题，结果主题却被形式颠覆了，他们的后期作品成为了干脆的试验影像，尽管依旧精妙，却已是空中楼阁。
