Well written movie novelisation,
By
This review is from: Zardoz (Paperback)
Zardoz is a guilty pleasure of mine and I recently had the opportunity to read this novelisation co-written by John Boorman and Bill Stair (credited as a consultant on the film, and incidentally creator of the UK TV show, Boon starring Michael Elphick). Boorman provides an introduction where he admits that this book takes material from the early drafts of the script and combines them. This is probably some of the material concerning Zed's early life growing up as an exterminator as well as the original purpose of the Vortex (it was created as a space ship for the cream of humanity to travel to other planets). Fans of the films will find something worth digesting here whilst those that loathed the film will also loathe this novelisation. Otherwise it makes an interesting addition to an under-rated movie though would advise anyone to purchase the DVD.

Not Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Zardoz (Paperback)
Barbarian bloke busts up the burgundy and beaujolais set.Or, a bit of the wizard of oz redone in seventies trippy and gauzy decadent sf style. Those of the lower class are kept ignorant by means of technological tricks, etc, in that old fashioned oz style. Here, the witches are most definitely a lot better looking, and a lot hornier. |
