About This Movie

Dreht euch nicht um – der Golem geht rum, a curious piece from 1971, unfolds in a dystopian 23rd century where the workforce has become obsolete, thanks to advanced tech. The film's atmosphere is both sterile and claustrophobic, mirroring the lives of its characters who are regulated by a computer that manages their leisure. The pacing might feel slow for some, but it gives ample time to marinate in its themes of control and freedom. Practical effects are modest but effective, creating a unique visual experience. There’s a certain depth in the performance of the lead, Prun. This film doesn't fit neatly into any box, which makes it a fascinating watch for any collector of obscure sci-fi cinema.

This film has had a rather limited release history, making it somewhat of a niche find for collectors. While not widely circulated on home video, there have been a few DVD and VHS editions over the years, but they often fetch high prices on the secondary market. The obscurity of the director adds to its mystique, and collectors often appreciate the film for its thematic depth and unique take on the genre, making it a sought-after piece for those interested in lesser-known works of science fiction.
