Mine worker Robert agrees to a Faustian pact with the alien Algol from the planet of the same name. Algol teaches Robert to convert the radiation of his planet to energy, making him the most powerful man on earth. But Robert’s reign leads to a resistance led by his childhood friend.
Hans Werckmeister’s expressionist sci-fi classic was considered lost for a long time, until it was rediscovered in the 2000s and 2K restored by the Munich Film Archive. Algol was far ahead of its time with its combination of family drama and industrial dystopia. The film shows a literal high society populated by the rich above an underground world where slaves work. This structure later became a common trope of dystopian fiction. With its plot about the use of radiation for energy, Algol also contains a warning for today: exchanging coal for durable energy may well lead to a new kind of monopoly.
A totalitarian government employs firemen to destroy literature. A poster child of the force tastes the forbidden fruit and gets infected by the very curiosity he’s meant to fight.
