Galaxis (1967) dir. Rudolf Thome

In a future world devoid of men, three young women order two men to come to them and ask them which of them they would prefer. The film begins with a shower of stars and a text introduction: it is set in the year 2000, we learn, when the terrestrial men are for the most part enslaved on Alpha Centauri Galaxis is as tremendously stylish as any of the films before it. Everything is empty and low, the clear lines of the Eighties are anticipated, but Galaxis is already supposed to depict the time shortly after the turn of the millennium. Our present, in other words, whose design actually looks better in Thome s work. This is where feminist amusement takes place, clever and pretty and nasty, and with no promising prospects for any of the men (Doris Kuhn: Die Stärke der Frauen, in: Formen der Liebe.
