This is a film that I would recommend for those interested in cultural history rather than those interested in sci-fi.
A fascinating look into Russian cinema in the 1920s, this is a film that shows a vision of space inspired by the modern abstract art of the time. Sets and costumes that reflect Malevich and Kandinsky, including the wonderfully kinetic pants of the maid. Beautiful!
The story, on the other hand, is tedious more than anything else. I found myself spacing out on the plot, impatiently expecting for another look at that exquisite movement of the kinetic pants.
Still, those pants are definitely worth seeing. Youtube some clips if nothing else.
