The most epic, life-changing, and utterly confusing movie experience of your life is coming back to cinemas: Gandahar! 🎥👽 Because, you know, the world was just missing a 4K remaster of a 1987 French animated sci-fi film about a guy named Sylvain who teams up with mutants to defeat a giant brain 🧠. I mean, who wouldn’t want to watch that? 🤷♂️ It’s not like you have better things to do, like watching paint dry or waiting for a pot of water to boil ⏰.
An entire civilization must confront its destiny in alternative-animation pioneer René Laloux’s final feature, because apparently, he wanted to go out with a bang… or a weird, haunting melody that will stick in your head forever 🎵. It’s a cult classic of mind-bending science fiction, which is just a nice way of saying it’s a weird, trippy movie that will make you question your life choices 🤯. In a distant world, a merciless army of automata attacks Gandahar, turning its peace-loving people to stone, because who needs peaceful people, anyway? 🙅♂️
In a world where everything is just a bit too weird, a council of matriarchs (because, of course, the women are in charge 🙌) enlists the brave yet inexperienced warrior Sylvain (played by Pierre-Marie Escourro, who is probably a famous actor in France or something 🇫🇷), who teams up with the Deformed, a race cast out from Gandahar after failed science experiments rendered them mutants 🧟♀️. Because what’s a movie without a few mutants, am I right? 🤷♂️
Soon, Sylvain learns that a gargantuan brain called Metamorphis (voiced by Georges Wilson, who probably had a lot of fun saying “I’m a giant brain” in the recording studio 🤣) is responsible for his utopian society’s strife, and together with the beautiful Airelle (played by Catherine Chevallier, who is probably a famous actress in France or something 🇫🇷), they travel through time to defeat him, because time travel is always a good idea, right? 🕰️ It’s not like they’ll create a bunch of plot holes or paradoxes or anything 🤯.
Featuring stunningly surreal creatures and wondrously bizarre environments designed by renowned comic-book artist Caza, Gandahar is a visceral, visionary head-trip that will make you wonder if you accidentally ingested some weird, hallucinatory substance 🍄. It’s like someone took all the weirdest parts of your dreams and put them into a movie, and then someone else said, “You know what would be a good idea? If we added more mutants and a giant brain!” 🤯
Gandahar returns to cinemas with a new 4K restoration on 28th August, because the world was just missing a high-definition version of this weird, wonderful movie 🎥. So, if you’re feeling adventurous and want to experience something that will make you question your sanity, then Gandahar is the movie for you! 🎉 Just don’t say I didn’t warn you 😂.
And, as a special treat, here’s a poster for the movie, because who doesn’t love a good poster? 📣 
Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
Finn McFrame: changing the world, one satirical lens flare at a time.
