A metaphysical journey through an enigmatic #PostApocalyptic landscape. #Scifi #ArtFilm
On the latest Pink Smoke Podcast, we talked with @MovieKessler about THE DOOMED CITY by the Strugatsky brothers, whose work has been adapted into some of the strangest and most awe-inspiring science fiction films ever made.

THE DOOMED CITY was the Strugatsky Brothers' magnum opus, but they knew their tale of the futility of political ideology couldn't be published in Soviet Russia. It existed only as hand-copied drafts for 20 years.

NEW EPISODE:
@MovieKessler is here to discuss THE DOOMED CITY, the self-suppressed magnum opus of the Strugatsky Brothers!
Theological novel, pointed political allegory, mind-bending sci-fi story; the novel is equal parts inventive, harrowing & thrilling:

"When I read the Strugatsky's tale... it aroused memories of that particular world where people of different nationalities lived, but where there was a complete cultural vacuum that could reduce even the most unassuming person to despair." - Alexander Sokurov on Days of Eclipse
For my weekly film double feature, courtesy of @ScarecrowVideo, I watched some science fiction films about going into another zone of reality.

After reading the novel that Tarkovsky based Stalker on - Roadside Picnic by Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky (1972) - I have to marvel at how Tarkovsky turned this simple Soviet era sci-fi story into a metaphysical masterpiece.
