Surrealistic and all too relevant political science fiction with a television station that creates reality at the center. It was made in the early 80s against the background of rising discontent in Poland, but feels like it's a satire on 2025. Loosely grounded in Orson Welles' take on The War of the Worlds. Disjointed stylistically, which doesn't always feel under control, but sucks you in ways that reminded me a bit of Jodorowsky.

The rhythms, visually and musically, are deeply grounded in the African diaspora. In the top tier of stylistically adventurous African cinema
