    O-Bi, O-Ba: The End of Civilization

    O-BI, O-BA: THE END OF CIVILIZATION

    PIOTR SZULKIN Poland, 1984

    Conjuring a claustrophobic vision of post-nuclear Poland, Piotr Szulkin lends his satirical eye to the weaponization of religion as a means of social control. A utilitarian triumph of ramshackle world-building, O-Bi, O-Ba is a hallucinatory examination of apocalyptic anxieties in the atomic age.

    GA-GA: GLORY TO THE HEROES

    PIOTR SZULKIN Poland, 1985

    Taking inspiration from Pasolini’s La Ricotta, Piotr Szulkin closes his “Apocalyptic Tetralogy” with an anarchic riff on the Passion of Christ. The funniest of the four films, Ga-Ga: Glory to the Heroes is a rich sci-fi allegory that puts the European colonial project in its satirical crosshairs.
