George Lucas, USA, 1971, 35mm, 88 min.

In the 25th century, humans have created a world without names, without emotions, without crime, but in this perfect society, one man (Robert Duvall) will discover love is the ultimate transgression. Before STAR WARS, George Lucas conceived the future as a technocratic blank with nameless humans driven underground and controlled with mind-numbing drugs. Debuting to a poor critical reception and even poorer box office receipts, the film’s enduring cult status is a testament to its creator’s ability for conjuring visions of rebellion against a dark, imperialist oppression.
