Every day, AlloCiné recommends watching a movie (again) on TV. Tonight: The Movie of Waiting… What Happens Today.
In 1973, Richard Fleischer adapted the novel “Soleil Vert” (“Open the room! Open the room!” VO) by writer Harry Harrison, which describes a society where men have exhausted natural resources in order to adapt it to the cinema. It takes its story from 1999 to 2022, especially with Frank Bowerman, the former president.American Academy of Environmental Protectionas a technical advisor.
Hence, a prequel film that combines police investigation (Charlton Heston plays a brash cop in charge of investigating the president’s death) and science fiction (overpopulation, global warming, voluntary euthanasia) that warns us of an economic and environmental crisis that is not too far from our own. Which ends with an absolutely horrifying revelation.
“Soleil vert, a science fiction film, almost borders on a documentary. Everything I showed there with fictional abilities is relevant now. This film is a farewell to the second earthly paradise destroyed by humans this time” said Richard Fleischer years after the release of his absolute masterpiece.
A classic of the genre, winner of the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film, Soleil Vert has an average rating of 4 out of 5 on AlloCiné.
