Dark Star

John Carpenter, 1974, US, 35mm, ov, 83'

Carpenter’s first film and a reinvention of the space odyssey, even though the genre was already considered passé and boring. The "Dark Star" spacecraft is designed to destroy any planets that deviate from their trajectory and are thus at risk for collisions with their star, which could create a supernova. Although destruction and devastation might seem thrilling, it’s a totally other beast when you’ve been at it for more than twenty years! Such is the case for the spacecraft’s crew: a bunch of beatniks in Hawaiian shirts that seem plucked directly out of rock bands from the sixties. Bored by their endless voyages from one solar system to another, they wander like zombies through the halls, aimlessly floating like their vessel through the cosmos. Everything is calm until a visitor arrives...
