In the Dust of the Stars
Director: Gottfried Kolditz
East Germany | 1976 | 95 mins | In German with English subtitles | DCP | Colour
Who’s suffering from the winner’s curse?
After a six-year journey, the spaceship Cyrno lands on the planet TEM 4 after receiving its call for help, but the Temers deny the call. As commander Akala prepares the spaceship to leave, the ruler of TEM4 invites her and the crew to a lush party. Not only do the opulent food and the seductive dancers cloud their minds, there are also drugs to brainwash them. Only navigator Suko is left behind on the spaceship, and he makes a terrible discovery.
Sometimes referred to as the “East German Barbarella”, In the Dust of the Stars is deemed one of the most imaginative films of East German cinema. It was co-produced with Romania by the state-owned studio, DEFA (Deutsche Film-Aktiengesellschaft), and is the last of the studio’s four outer-space films. The cast was heralded from different eastern European countries. Director Gottfried Kolditz started his career in making musicals and In the Dust of the Stars is a feast for the eyes.
