As uncategorizable as it is inexplicable, this curiosity might best be described as a conceptual biography, the 'life story' of the Saturnian free-jazz pioneer Sun Ra. Not content to be merely from Saturn, Ra here is a kind of intergalactic space god who fights the devil for the soul of Earth -- at least, I think he is. Coaxing a semblance of plot out of Space is the Place is about as fruitful a pursuit as waiting for the Arkestra to lapse into four-four time, but the movie's fertile brew of blaxploitation, The Seventh Seal and ultra-low-budget sci-fi -- not to mention snatches of vintag Arkestra performances -- make for a movie unlike anything you've ever seen, or could possibly duplicate. 'It's enough to make you believe, as billed here, that Ra is indeed the most influential musician of this and 30 million galaxies.' (Sam Adams, Philadelphia City Paper) Helpful Information: All patrons must be 18 years or older or be accompanied by a parent. Children under 6 are not admitted at any time.
