- Synopsis:
- Piotr Szulkin (1950 - 2018) was a filmmaker of profoundly imaginative works and 'Golem' was his wildly-iconoclastic debut feature film. After an atomic war, scientists programme a new race of humans whose every movement is controlled by technology. But one creature, Pernat (Marek Walczewski), begins to question the world around him...Shot in muted tones, this disturbing Kafka-esque sci-fi allegory is a precursor to Blade Runner and evokes the apocalyptic landscape of Tarkovsky's Stalker. Its troubling depiction of irresponsible science, fake news and unfettered Al mark it now as wholly prescient.
