"An intelligent movie that is deceptively poignant and wide-open to
interpretation.”—Wearemoviegeeks.com

Months after the end of World War II, a U.S. soldier has been sent by
the army to locate and retrieve German rockets and rocket science. In
the woods, he finds a German V-2 rocket, the most advanced long-range
rocket created to date. As he searches for more, he’s confronted by a
perplexing cast of characters—including a talking octopus—who just may
help his mission. An unjustifiable blend of the bare-bones realism of
John Ford's WWII documentaries and the glorious stupidity of Abbott
and Costello, IMPOLEX sheds light on an obscure corner of military
history. 35mm. (Alex Ross Perry)

Director Alex Ross Perry will be present for audience discussion.
