NANARLAND :
La soirée aux effets… très spéciaux !
Saturday January 29 at 8 p.m.
Screening of the cult Italian space-opera “Starcrash: the shock of the stars” directed by Luigi Cozzi (1978), presented in a restored 4K version.
“Starcrash” is considered one of the best sci-fi chicks. Knowing that a nanar is such a failed movie that it becomes hilarious, we could deduce that Starcrash is necessarily a failed movie.
It’s actually more complicated than that, because while Luigi Cozzi’s film is indeed hilarious in spite of itself, it is also a generous work with incredible handcrafted special effects. The film makes people laugh, but it also inspires tenderness and respect for a team that had to tinker with an ersatz Star Wars in Italy, for a ridiculous budget. We will therefore delight in the incredible ingenuity implemented to bring the film, its spaceships, its stop-motion robots and its giant monsters into existence.
The screening of the film will be followed by a meeting with the Nanarland team around the most improbable special effects of cinema twice.
