Special Edition - Uncut & Unaltered! Reviews "The DEFA Sci-Fi Collection'' brings together three cold-war fantasies of space travel and Communist domination of the known universe, blending outrageous camp and Marxist ideology." - New York Times "If there's anything more beguiling to a true treasure-hunting cinephile than the old films of a lost nation-in this case, East Germany-it's that nation's idiosyncratic genre flicks. Socialist sci-fi! First Run is releasing three uncut films from DEFA, the GDR's premier production studio, all of them chintzy, freaky, conceptual space operas focused, surprisingly, on character and emotional fallout." - Village Voice "Running the gamut from the exceedingly nerdy and
expository to the absolutely tripped out, reckless consumption of this set may
result in full-fledged conversion to a utopian space politics unheard of this
side of the United Space Federation. Highly enjoyable!" Recommended Reading That
