Alternate Title: The Ten Commandments

Directed by: Phil Mulloy

year: 1994 6 minutes

Two gentle astronauts develop feelings for one another as they drift into deep space. Though they know they’ll never again see their rotten spouses back on Earth, the sanctity of their marriage vows keeps them apart. Beyond the surreal nightmares and insect insurrections, Phil Mulloy’s short lampoons the human weakness for moral purity.

Phil Mulloy’s allegorical take on the commandment against blasphemy is itself deeply irreverent. Yawning through a church service, God amuses Himself with human suffering.

Reviews

Frances Cunard

In Outer Space there is no religion...a matter of moral ambiguity. How ironic when we apply this archaic law that simply does not have relevant enforcement of the Biblical law in our present time. Christ himself does not condone the stoning of an adulteress: how much more the government stopping the death of an adulterer


Steven Reyes

Boring, predictable, gratuitous.
And those are the nice words.
Poor abused person had to make a sad movie about his/her personal prejudice(s).


Elena Volovich

Distasteful, poorly directed and disappointing.


Two-Kings

...and absolutely brilliant.
