ZARDOZ (1974), the most visionary movie of the seventies. SEAN CONNERY going from cool and ruthless post-apocalyptic hunter to superhuman messiah. 25 years before "The Matrix", you know.
I still find it hard to believe but felt it was long overdue, a limited Blu-ray disc release has apparently been announced for February 2015.
IMHO this is one of the most underrated and most misunderstood thought provoking film of the 1970's and - indeed - 25 years ahead of "The Matrix" with so many parallels that these could fill a book (wait a minute, I'm currently writing one...).
Great to see that there is a blog devoted to one of my all time favorite films, and I hope many other ZARDOZ aficionados will dare a "coming out" and tell us why this unusual film has a special place in their hearts.

Thank you so much Frank.
