Piotr Szulkin (1950-2018) was a filmmaker of profoundly imaginative works, and Golem was his wildly iconoclastic debut feature.

In a bleak dystopian alternate future, a solitary worker suffers a breakdown after being interrogated about crimes he has no recollection of committing. Is he a real human, or a clone created by scientists in an attempt to engineer a new, more submissive race of humans?

A dark satire of Communist Poland in the late 1970s, Piotr Szulkins Kafkaesque science-fiction allegory is a precursor to Blade Runner, and evokes the post-apocalyptic landscape of Andrei Tarkovskys Stalker. Its troubling depiction of irresponsible science, fake news and unfettered AI now make it all the more prescient.

Golem is presented in a 2K restoration of the film supervised by its late director Piotr Szulkin and sound engineer Nikodem Wolk-Laniewski. This set also includes for the first time anywhere on Blu-ray a selection of Piotr Szulkins early short film works, newly remastered in HD - plus a new audio commentary by Polish cinema expert Michael Brooke.

Från IMDB:
The film is set in a terrorizing world of the future, where technology commands the movements of individuals, supervised by the doctors, carrying out a program to improve the human race. Thus, instead of doctors creating a monster, the monsters are already there as the species of the future - but one of them is suspected by the doctors of being a human being. That is Golem in reverse.
