War of the Worlds: Next Century (ej svensk text) (Blu-ray)

In a radical reworking of the H.G. Wells classic, War of the Worlds: Next Century, tells the story of Iron Idem (celebrated Polish actor Roman Wilhelmi), a television host, who finds himself contending with a Martian invasion, whose takeover involves collaborating with the state and manipulating the populace through a media apparatus made up entirely of fake news... Drawing as much on George Orwell and 1984 as on Wells’ novel, Pior Szulkin’s prescient allegory of state and media control is a dark sci-fi that uses classic noir tropes to tell its sinister story.
