Artemis 81
Has anyone seen this movie?
The footage in this vid is from Artemis 81 and is the only footage of this movie I’ve been able to find online. For a “cult movie” (as the BBC DVD release claims) this one falls on the forgotten end of the spectrum. (And I should note the music is not from the movie. I’m not even sure the movie had any background music.)
I watched this movie as a teen and remember being puzzled and somewhat haunted for days. Today I tried to rewatch it. I’m still not sure if it’s still over my head, too heavy handed with its symbolism, or just plain bad. I think it’s a bit of all three. Oddly, I find that when I was watching it as a teen I probably could have learned something from the main character. Ah well, better late than never.
Anyhow, this is one to watch, at least for the surreal experience. Then please come and explain it to me.
(And if you can find the connection between this and the Neverwhere post from a few days ago, I’ll give you a gold star or something.)
