Film Club: The Time Masters (1982)
Join me to watch an animated existentialist space fantasy adventure film from the 80s, restored in 4K in 2023, designed by the legendary Jean Giraud (a.k.a. Mœbius).
Official summary: After his parents are killed on the dangerous planet Perdide, young Piel survives by maintaining radio contact with Jaffar, a pilot transporting the exiled Prince Matton and Princess Belle from their former kingdom. Jaffar seeks the help of Silbad, a cheerful old-timer who knows how to circumvent Perdide’s hazards, including brain-devouring insects and watery graves. Along the way, Jaffar and company encounter a pair of impish homunculi stowaways, identity-less angels controlled by an amorphous hive mind, and the Masters of Time, mysterious beings who can bend reality and perhaps reveal to the heroes their secret origins and destinies.
I will be there around 6:15. Movie starts at 6:40 and runs for 80 minutes. We can grab a drink and chat about the movie after.
