The Best Sci-Fi Ever Made for Public TV: THE LATHE OF HEAVEN (1980)

This record-setting sci-fi classic honors one of the greatest literary icons who ever lived, and it's a head trip like nothing else on PBS. If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I love this film. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the movie and its place in cinema history. In other words, please stop commenting on how my videos aren't what you consider "reviews." #thelatheofheaven #ursulakleguin #brucedavison 00:00 Intro 01:06 Synopsis 01:55 Production History 04:27 Casting 06:29 Filming 08:56 Release & Legacy 11:07 Opinion & Analysis 13:54 Outro TUG Channel Membership:    / @theunapologeticgeek   http://www.emagill.com/   / emagill     / writeremagill     / emagill00   PARADOX: http://www.amazon.com/dp/150321978X --------- Selected source links (not representative of the totality of research): https://www.wgbhalumni.org/2015/11/29... https://www.ursulakleguin.com/adaptat... https://web.archive.org/web/200006191...
