VALLEY OF THE GODS
Bioscop
The world’s wealthiest man, Wes Tauros, wants to drill for uranium in the last preserve of the Navajo. Between these worlds – the highly technological, industrialised sphere and the archaic, mythological realm – stands John, an unsuccessful writer. Using this configuration as a point of departure, Lech Majewski stages a brilliant tour de force through the history of film: Wes Tauros embodies a modern version of Charles Foster Kane; a western morphs playfully into a science fiction film; and it’s never that far from Kubrick and Fellini to Dracula or Godzilla in Majewski’s world either. An aesthetically stunning delirium of images – an insane and insanely good film.
