It becomes a bleak comic spit into the face of organized religion, organized society, and even organized narrative.

In the far future, a group of dissident astronauts crash land on an unnamed Earth-like planet after escaping from a degraded and vaguely dystopian Earth. There, they find freedom and start a new civilization. The children born on this planet age much faster than on Earth and quickly devolve into tribalism.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by A.O. Scott
A certain amount of work is required to stitch together a sense of the plot, but as is often the case in Zulawski’s films, the story is less the point than an excuse, a loose temporal conceit holding together flights of visual invention, verbal extravagance and male and female nudity.
The New Yorker by Richard Brody
It’s among the most visually extravagant films ever made.
RogerEbert.com by Scout Tafoya
One of the greatest science and moral fiction movies ever made.
