An dieser Stelle zitiere ich aus meinem alten Filmtagebuch:
I am Arthur Frayn, and I am Zardoz. I have lived 300 years, and long to die. But death is no longer possible, I am immortal. I present now my story - full of mystery and intrigue. Rich in irony, and most satirical. It is set deep within a possible future, so none of these events have yet occurred. But they may! Be warned, lest you end as I. In this tale I am a fake god by occupation, and a magician by inclination. Merlin is my hero! I am the puppet master. I manipulate many of the characters and events you will see. But I am invented too for your entertainment and amusement. And you, poor creatures, who conjured you out of the clay? Is God in showbusiness too?
John Boormans Zardoz entwirft einen utopischen Blick auf eine Zivilisation in der Zukunft. Sein Science-Fiction-Film ist ein umfangreiches Gedankenexperiment aus sozial-politischen und philosophischen Fragen, wirkt dabei aber sehr zynisch und endet in einer Farce.
