The final Piotr Szulkin's Sci-Fi trilogy ends up in this higher acid critic addressed to dictatorial communist system at Poland prior fall of Berlin wall and ensuing the total collapse of URSS's bleak regime, it was made in 1986 when all countries of iron curtain were in decaying process of extreme poverty and lack of enough food meanwhile the oppressive regime tried hidden this outrageous plight inserting a massive TV propaganda aiming for misleading the people.
The plot basically is about an unnamed country in near future that has a correctional facility at space, so the government impose for a prisoner Scope (Daniel Olbrychski) to became an astronaut travelling to outer space to explore new planets and plant a national flag in such ground, although reaching at planet called Australia Scope is well-received as hero by a local bureaucratic Chudy (Jerzy Stuhr), oddly enough this planet has the same community system ongoing at Poland at mid-eighties.
A sharp screenplay mocking the strapped-cumbersome system on those massive paperwork whatever the reason it's required a triple carbon copy properly assigned by the upset citizen, all that in a decaying city likewise Poland's poorly environment at its period of time, to finish the odd offering the hero ought commit a cruel crime to be impaled at packed stadium with a live broadcasting, well it's really a sarcastic outcome.
Thanks for reading.
