Ga-Ga: Glory to the Heroes
In the darkly comic Ga-Ga: Glory to the Heroes, Scope (Daniel Olbrychski, Dekalog) must be tried and convicted of a heinous crime for him to participate in a bloody, televised gladiator contest⊠Inspired by Pasoliniâs La ricotta and American space opera, Szulkinâs film mocks hero myths with a dark satirical edge.
