Andrzej Zulawski’s film On the Silver Globe, is a film adaptation of Moon trilogy by Jerzy Zulawski – a philosopher of decadence and the director’s paternal granduncle. The blockbuster filmed during the crisis years of People’s Republic of Poland (PRL) was halted by decidents. They expected the film to be an expression of the international fascination with the cosmos. Meanwhile it turned out, that the message of the trilogy, also called a decadent anti-utopia, exposed the post-industrial apathy of the declining socialist system. The director edited the present version of the film using surviving excerpts of the tapes. The film is a total metaphor or even a documentary of the fall of civilization myths, especially those grounded in the national discourse. The storyline is turned into a metaphor through the basic elements constituting the presented world: the four elements evoking archetypes and atavisms. Pisarzewski attempts to read them using the complexes distinguished by Gaston Bachelard. They change the anti-utopia into a fragment of a tragic vision of Polish history, which in Polish cinema was developed by Zulawski.
