This is one of my favorite Euro-Science Fiction movies. From the strange, mood setting opening song (the outsider....), I was hooked forever. Man, do I wish for a cleaned up soundtrack release of this movie. One of the best IMHO. Matter of fact, I would love to see a cleaned up and restored dvd of this. This may be the one movie I have the most versions of, and all are painfully cropped and the color is usually very washed out.

I think it's a bizarre and unique story - esp. Rains using math to predict the worlds demise! Rains is great in this, and he is very over the top, but I think that just adds to the delirious quality of this very European brand of science fiction. It just puts me in a wonderful, weird world.
