Themroc (1973)
A great image of our tragic state of life
I wonder why none of the reviews are attending us on that unforgettable, tragic last pictures of the movie: a deadly frozen world, their arms in vain stretched outside through the gaps in the prisoning wall; in silence lost screaming by human beings whose irrealism did not succeed in their hopeful but anarchistic fighting for an authentic natural life; caught back worse than ever before in a senseless but common life: our daily world without real communicative language. The movie is a great piece of art, a forceful protest, biting but humorous as well, against an inhumane way of one-dimensional existing. Yes, in the spirit of those years, the seventies (Marcuse!); but transcending that time in deeply moving images, a huge everlasting metaphor of human existence in a world of scattered hope for Sense and Quality.

an archetype actualized into a wrongly forgotten modern myth
About 30 years ago I several times saw this movie, and still ever I remember the great impression, made by its touching and poetic actualization into human (and political) modern myth of the old Christian archetype; such in embarrassing pictures, beautiful scenes and shots; in puzzling images and metaphors; in moving music, rhythms and songs; in fine, sincere corporality and love scenes; in a ravishing tempo. Although violence, usurpation and cruelties are playing a (very functional) role as well, seeing this motion picture is not at all a saddening or disgusting experience: certainly no more than when undergoing the catharsis caused by a classic tragedy. - Why this inspiring movie seems to be forgotten? Maybe for political reasons? Where one can see it again?
