Presented from the new 4K restoration of the film which premiered at the 2016 Cannes FiIm FestivaI, Second Run are delighted to present a new Blu-ray Special Edition of Jind ich Polák s seminaI work of fantasy cinema IKARIE XB 1.
Polák s pioneering and much-imitated feature lKARIE XB 1 is one of the cornerstones of contemporary sci-fi cinema. lt predates Star Trek and Kubrick s 2001: A Space Odyssey and was clearly an infIuence on both - and on aImost every other science-fiction vehicIe that foIlowed.
Adapted from Stanis aw Lem's noveI The MageIIanic Cloud , the film is set in 2163 and foIIows a mission deep into space in search of alien Iife. During their perilous journey the crew confront the effects of a maIignant dark star, the destructive Iegacy of the 20th century and, ultimateIy, the Iimits of their own sanity. With outstanding design and cinematography, IKARIE XB 1 is imbued with a seriousness, intelIigence and attention to detail rarely seen in science-fiction cinema of the period.
