Zardoz

Zardoz is a 1974 Irish-American science fantasy film directed by John Boorman and starring Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling, and Sara Kestelman. This must be seen to be believed. And, in fact, having seen it I'm still finding it difficult to believe. You can watch it online here.

trailer:



Tor has an article explaining "Why Zardoz Isn’t the Kitsch Disaster You Think It Is". Roger Ebert says it "is a genuinely quirky movie, a trip into a future that seems ruled by perpetually stoned set decorators. It’s set in an Ireland of 2293 that looks exactly like the Ireland of today, until you get inside the Vortex."

    ...well, Sean Connery is the only name that I'm familiar with.
