Now watching "Space is the Place" with Sun Ra. I miss when you used to be able to just stumble upon crazy movies like this on cable. I've never stopped to watch the whole thing though.
It's a miracle it's on Max right now. And even more surprised it got it recommended to me.
I guess the commonalty with "Aniara" is "scifi with a lot of people off the street as extras"
@virtualbri I became aware of this movie a the San Francisco MoMa of all places. There was a small scifi exhibit and in one screen they were showing clips of Space is the Place. Been fascinated by the imagery. Still haven’t watched it though. Hopefully soon
@JoshuaACNewman I don't have a deep knowledge of him, but I appreciate what he's standing for in the movie, and his music collective. Actually wished there was more of his music in the movie.
@virtualbri He’s worth a deep dive. Fully aware of what he was doing, making this whole science fiction world of jazz superpowers since he was born into a world of banal cruelty.
