Zardoz (Boorman, 1974): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 6pm
This presentation of a genuine cult classic includes aQ&A with writer-director John Boorman.
Chicago Reader review:
Probably John Boorman's most underrated film—an impossibly ambitious and
pretentious but also highly inventive, provocative, and visually
striking SF adventure with metaphysical trimmings (1974). Set in a
postapocalyptic society in 2293, it stars Sean Connery as a warrior and
noble savage with dawning awareness; interestingly enough, the plot in
many ways resembles that of Boorman's best film, Point Blank.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
