On the fourth rewatch and to this day I still feel like this is how you make a true sci fi, colonizing a new planet, implanting social norms and technology from your planet, making a batch of new civilization everyday, this is like a metaphor to the beginning of time in a religious mythos, playing as gods while making the audience feel that alienation that an alien would, no sense of understanding by language, no sense of place, just pure disbelonging and inferiority by enlightenment, with visuals and camera movement so uneasy. Marek and Marta are the Neil and Adjani of this film. I really wish Zulawski was able to finish this but I still think it is fun to imagine the placeholders, I love Poland but fuck you.
