This movie got so close to reality that the government shut it down before it could be finished.
On the Silver Globe (1988) is one of the strangest sci-fi films ever made. Directed by Andrzej Żuławski, it follows a colony of astronauts whose descendants gradually transform history into myth and religion.
The film was nearly lost forever when the Polish communist government shut down production in 1976 and ordered much of it destroyed while it was about 80% complete.
Years later, Żuławski recovered enough footage to finish the film. Missing scenes are replaced by his narration over documentary footage of modern Poland, giving the movie an even more surreal and unique quality.
