special programs / the shadow of a doubt: when swiss film becomes fantastic
L'inconnu de Shandigor
Roy Jean-Louis
Switzerland, 1967, 90'
The movie
An UFO of a movie, quite simply: a pop sci-fi film with an implausible script; a nuclear defuser (the “Annulator”); a half-mad sci- entist; Russian, American, and bald spies; car chases; an improbable romance; and even Serge Gainsbourg in the role of Mr. Spy. Rarely has Swiss cinema been so extravagant!
