Our Heavenly Bodies
Wunder der Schöpfung
Synopsis
Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

THE LUDICROUSLY-LOVEABLE UBER-INCREDIBLE FLICKERS PROJECT 2017 🤖
How many films will I watch in 2017. Here is the place to find out. This year, the list's name has been provided by Aaron the Robot . . . who is too lame to have a letterboxd account. Addendum: Halfway through 2017, I would definitely say this is the year of horror/exploitation films. Video Nasties, 80's monster movies, slasher films and 70's grindhouse specials have been heavily featured in this list so far this year . . . and there seems to be no sign of stopping anytime soon!
