I've yet to read the article but this Polish film is featured in the latest copy of Infinity Magazine (#25) which is nice because it brought it to my attention. Unfortunately I've not seen the actual movie so you lot are going to have to tell me if its any good or not. Swanky spacesuits though!

I have a copy (digital) of the movie. Can you recommend a sharing site and will upload for you?

ReplyDeleteit about two polish men who do hibernation experiment for some months.
only to recover several decades later, after nuclear war ravage earth and it civilization

...who consider them as some kind of animals.
I see that the movie High Life [2018] is on in my neck of the woods,I`ve given it a very quick look but I`m not that impressed with what I see.The suit looks okay,its a proto soyuz type suit,tho there was a rather amateurish mistake in one scene where it was clear that the suit was not inflated,I think this is the potential downside of using these non hardshell type helmets.

Heres an interesting one.Claims that kubrick risked a stuntmans life during filming of one of the spacewalk scenes.

And heres a rather cool one.This is a guy whos making his own spacesuit.....and it isnt a prop or a costume,its an actual spacesuit.The bit that I do quite like is that hes chosen our old friend the gsh6 for its helmet
